Proudly supported by Global Learning Expeditions
456 The Global Learning Foundation was established in 2013 as the Asia Pacific Youth Foundation before more recently, expanding to assist communities outside the immediate APAC region. Thus, becoming the Global Learning Foundation.
The foundation was established by Ross Camfield, the director of Educational World Travel. After being confronted with extreme poverty in several countries he traveled to, he wanted to ‘give back’ to the communities that have positively supported our student travellers over the years.
Whilst operating tours in Asia, Ross noticed that despite other organisations doing some great work in communities, it was never clear or transparent as to how much money actually reached the community. Nor was it clear if the work being done was in the community’s best interests – or even if it was what they needed!
So, with his experience and staff resources already in place, he decided to extend the reach of the Global Learning Foundation. By involving Australian secondary schools in some of the project work, Ross was able to further increase the foundation’s capacity to make a difference.
The foundation, with donor support, was able to vary community initiatives and social impact projects globally, especially in areas not always accessible to student groups. Where safe and manageable, schools can now be involved with some project work through Global Learning Expeditions.
