ABOUT GCSF

GCSF TO AID BURMA'S YOUNGEST CYCLONE VICTIMS: We need your help today!

GCSF MISSION STATEMENT
Global Community Service Foundation works to reduce poverty in Southeast Asia by implementing sustainable community based projects and promoting cooperation among governmental and other resources providers.

WHAT IS GCSF?
Global Community Service Foundation (GCSF) is a 501 (c) (3) public charitable organization. In 1994, after witnessing the extreme deprivation and hardships in Southeast Asia, Marcia Selva, concerned friends and fellow travelers created a non-profit organization, focused on Viet Nam. Today, the Foundation that grew out of that effort has expanded to include an active board of directors, management team and voluntourists whose dedicated work ensures the success of the GCSF mission.

WHAT DOES GCSF DO?
Balancing the desire to yield the greatest possible impact with the seemingly endless need in the region, GCSF has developed an "Adopt-a-Village" approach to its programs, focusing its work in Viet Nam, Myanmar (formerly Burma), Cambodia and Thailand. The core of the "Adopt-a-Village" grass roots approach to community development is working with villages to address their needs as fundamental as food, clean water, shelter and clothing as well as education, public health and sanitation, vocational training, and income generation projects. Integrating these and other programs GCSF works toward reducing poverty and creating an environment of self-reliance.

YOU CAN HELP

We have supporters who participate in our foundation by making financial contributions, as well as supporters who participate personally through active voluntour efforts, both in the United States and at our Adopt-a-Village sites. You can help GCSF succeed by:

  • FINANCING a future "Adopt-a-Village" Program in need of funding

  • FINANCING one or more single projects within a Village Program

  • IDENTIFYING potential "Adopt-a-Village" prospects for GCSF's consideration

  • ENGAGING in participatory philanthropy. A hallmark of our foundation is that we encourage our voluntours to visit our "Adopt-a-Village" communities, to work alongside one another towards the completion of a common goal.
