Let's give back, together.
They need your support.
Connection Creators is a global community of passionate people from all walks of life who travel together and value meaningful human connection. Driven by curiosity and adventure, we refuse to settle in our pursuit of growth, impact, and connection.
It’s not just about seeing the world, it’s about making the world better, together. We acknowledge the power travel has in driving positive change, and we are guided by a purpose of giving back to the children of local communities.
1% of all profits from our group travel experiences are directed towards creating a larger impact for our partner foundations and the communities they serve.
ONGOING FUNDRAISING
Our founder, Jesse Terranova, raised nearly $3,000 during a Fundraising Event for the children. On October 15, 2022, he crossed the finish line completing his 4th Ironman Triathlon competition consisting of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run.
With the cold months approaching, we are asking for your continued support.
100% of your donations here will go directly to our non-profit partner organizations in Brazil and Pakistan.
Who are our non-profit partner organizations?
Our Partners in Brazil: GASCO - Community Social Action Group
In March, 2022, Jesse had the privilege of visiting Vidigal Favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. More specifically, he met with the wonderful founder of GASCO, Bernadete Soares Pereira, and her husband.
Since 2007, Bernadete's non-profit organization, GASCO, has served over 200 youth students between the ages of two and eighteen, per day, through sports, musical, educational and developmental programs. Bernadete has also founded a social project "Cozinha Solidária" which distributes warm food to homeless residents in the community.
Due to overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, poor nutrition and pollution, disease is rampant in the favelas and infant mortality rates are high.
We need your continued help and support.
BECAUSE OF YOU, we were able to help purchase a water fountain for the children in the event space. Prior to this, there was no water source and Jesse watched two adults pour hundreds of little cups for the kids throughout the visit.
For future plans, the objective is to expand their space including the educational classrooms, on site kitchen to feed the children, and the events area where the children are taught martial arts (Judo and Capoeria) and ballet.
A life changing experience documented below.
Our Pakistan Partners
In December 2021, our Jesse connected with Sundas, a community activist in Mian Channu, Pakistan through Facebook. Sundas is a teacher and the founder of a non-profit organization focused on educating, clothing, feeding and supporting 20 orphans and children living in poverty.
He was a bit skeptical at first, but decided to send $100 in good faith to their village in Pakistan to feed the 20 children for Christmas. What he received back almost had him in tears.
Sundas and her husband, Mohsin, created a banner with our founders picture and a kind message to show their appreciation. Each month since, we continue to give to her foundation and are always amazed by the response. We are truly making an impact in the lives of these children and our donations are being put to good use.
With your help, in January 2023, we helped Sundas to purchase school supplies, books, hire two full time teachers and rent an indoor space in Mian Channu that will be used as a school for the children!
For future plans, our goal is to continue to provide meals for the children, pay the monthly rent for their school, and continue to look for a larger space that can accomodate more children. As of now, they are unfortunately turning many families away from gaining this support.
With your help, we can continue to help these non-profit organizations meet their goals!
Sundas and her husband (below) visit this village three times a week to deliver support and spend time with the 20 children. It is approximately one hour from their home in Mian Channu. They have four children of their own: Mouiz, Abile, Veronica and Jasiel.
Never underestimate the difference you can make on every life you encounter. Big or small. The impact you make today has a powerful rippling effect on their tomorrow.
