FWB CARAVANS

WELCOME ABOARD!

From the moment Caravans without Borders started, we’ve been touched by a recurring story shared by our volunteer sponsors: “We set out to give, but in the end, we find that we’re the ones receiving.”

This is the remarkable impact of solidarity in motion. As you embark on this humanitarian mission, we invite you to explore not just the destination but also the journey within yourself, connecting with others, and embracing the joy of serving.

JOIN OUR CARAVAN (HUMANITARIAN MISSION)

Join forces with other volunteers on a meaningful journey to one of the projects endorsed by Fraternity Without Borders. This is your opportunity to immerse yourself in the true essence of fraternity, discovering the heart and soul of the project you’ll be visiting.

WHAT IS A FWB CARAVAN/HUMANITARIAN MISSION?

Guided by the values upheld by Fraternity Without Borders (FWB) and driven by the vision of “changing the world,” instilling confidence in the possibility of a better world through benevolent actions, the “FWB Caravan” was conceived. This unique initiative offers individuals the chance to embark on a fraternal journey that will forever leave a mark on their hearts.

To uphold the FWB mission’s values and actively contribute to transforming lives, our humanitarian endeavors adopt a compassionate, respectful, technically sound, and thoughtful approach in the locations where our projects are based. Every activity we engage in is guided by a strong ethical compass, moral principles, and transparent guidelines.

Our caravans are entirely voluntary and are designed to provide participants with a profound fraternal experience, inspiring everyone to become agents of positive change. Moreover, they aim to immerse participants in the local realities they encounter, including both the challenges and vulnerabilities, as well as the rich cultural and human tapestry they will discover. Whether it’s the resilience of the African people, who teach us about humility and purity, or the shared bonds with our brothers and sisters, we approach these experiences with an attitude of service, offering affection, discipline, respect, cooperation, and compassion.

It’s important to note that these caravans complement the ongoing projects carried out by FWB. They are organized with the involvement of sponsors who are passionate about volunteer work, contributing their personal or technological expertise, as well as professional skills.

By enrolling in our caravans, you’re preparing for an experience that has the power to transform your life. At the core of our philosophy is the African concept of “Ubuntu” – “I am because we are.” Your heartfelt service will be warmly received by the individuals assisted by our projects, individuals who have been living in challenging conditions with limited access to food and resources, yet they continue to hold onto the hope that brighter days are on the horizon.

2024 CARAVANS

CARAVAN TO MADAGASCAR, MALAWI AND MOZAMBIQUE

What are the goals of these caravans?

The primary goal of these caravans are to provide our volunteers with the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Fraternity Without Borders’ operations within each project. Through your participation, you’ll carry back with you the invaluable experience of unity, fostering a sense of shared purpose and connection.

These caravans will have a special focus on the Ubuntu Nation School (Malawi) and Horova School (Madagascar), and will be led by Charles Heaton, an experienced elementary school principal. Charles will organize activities tailored to the knowledge and skills of all volunteers, regardless of whether they come from an education background or not.

Rest assured, there are diverse opportunities available at our school, encompassing roles working with children, teachers, parents, administration, support staff, and much more. We extend a warm welcome to everyone who wishes to join us on this meaningful journey.

If you’re already familiar with the project and have ideas for activities that could enrich our mission, we encourage you to share your proposals during the registration process. Your input and creativity are highly valued as we work together to make a positive impact.
