GivePower: Construyendo una escuela en una aldea remota de Mal\u00ed<\/h3>\n

A finales de 2008, mi equipo ejecutivo y yo hicimos un retiro que fue todo menos tradicional. No fueron dos noches en Haw\u00e1i ni un resort de 5 estrellas en Tulum. En cambio, nos aventuramos a Mali, donde nos ofrecimos como voluntarios para construir una escuela en una aldea remota. Fue un viaje de esos en los que hay que arremangarse y ponerse a trabajar: una experiencia profundamente gratificante que no podr\u00eda haber contrastado m\u00e1s con la rutina diaria de la vida de oficina en Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Por supuesto, la intenci\u00f3n era generar el mayor impacto posible en este pueblo, pero, al repensarlo, no s\u00e9 qui\u00e9nes se sintieron m\u00e1s impactados: si el pueblo o mi equipo y yo. Ver a las ni\u00f1as caminando muchas millas durante incontables horas todos los d\u00edas para conseguir agua limpia \u2014en lugar de ir a la escuela\u2014 abri\u00f3 en m\u00ed un abismo emocional que perdura hasta el d\u00eda de hoy.<\/p>\n

No estaba bien. Y eso nos inculc\u00f3 a todos una actitud de gratitud: un profundo sentimiento de agradecimiento por la vida que se nos ha concedido y por las oportunidades que tenemos de marcar la diferencia para quienes no pueden disfrutar de lo mismo.<\/p>\n

La experiencia de Hayes Barnard en la expedici\u00f3n GivePower a Mal\u00ed: una experiencia que te cambia la vida<\/h3>\n

Ese viaje a Mal\u00ed fue la inspiraci\u00f3n para lo que hoy se ha convertido en la experiencia de senderismo con GivePower. Desde 2015, hemos organizado numerosas excursiones de senderismo para fomentar el esp\u00edritu de equipo, dirigidas a socios comprometidos con una causa, en Nepal, Colombia, Kenia, Hait\u00ed, Puerto Rico y muchas otras regiones donde la poblaci\u00f3n carece de acceso a las necesidades b\u00e1sicas para la vida.<\/p>\n

Cada viaje ha resultado ser una experiencia que nos ha cambiado la vida y que tiene un valor incalculable, tanto para quienes participamos como voluntarios como para las personas agradecidas que se benefician de nuestro trabajo.<\/p>\n

\"Hayes<\/p>\n

Queremos agradecer a nuestros donantes, socios y a ti por hacer posible estas oportunidades. Si a\u00fan no lo has hecho, \u00fanete a nuestra causa \u2014quiz\u00e1s incluso participando en una caminata con tu propio equipo\u2014 y ay\u00fadanos a mejorar la vida de quienes m\u00e1s lo necesitan.<\/p>\n
