We will occasionally blog on trips at our partners‘ requests. All of our non-profitclients are featured on a portal on our website.Each of our pre-packaged itineraries has an established beneficiary organization sowhen a person clicks on the link to a destination they learn about the nonprofit that willreceive a portion of their trip cost. In the section of our website entitled ―Travel Matters‖visitors can click on any of the countries we visit to find out which NGOs we support thatare doing work in that country.How are Funds Distributed?Funds are distributed by us to our NGO partners who use the money in their programs andprojects.What is the Structure to Ensure Accountability?We work with established, credible partners almost all of which are qualified charities underInternal Revenue Service code.
