Imagine that by volunteering time and talent as a mentor, Microsoft’s employee matching program can add up to enough funding to put a girl through college in Kenya, Rwanda and India!

The Global Give Back Circle is a circle of empowerment propelled by women from all parts of the globe who give back time and talent to girls from marginalized communities; amazing girls who refuse to accept the hand destiny tried to deal them. This is accomplished through a long distance mentoring process, driven by role model women mentors who empower girls to realize their dreams and goals while coaching them on the implementation of give back commitments to their communities.

While in high school, each girl is assigned a dedicated mentor who writes to her on a regular basis, encourages her in her studies, helps her explore possibilities and helps her realize her full potential as a global citizen.

While no previous mentoring experience is required, it is important that mentors commit to send at least two thoughtful letters/emails each month for at least one year – ideally for much, much longer. It is quite typical for mentors and mentees to communicate more frequently than twice a month, as the relationship deepens and a mentor’s advice and guidance are actively sought by the mentee.

Mentors are asked to complete a short application, read and agree to the mentor rights, responsibilities and rules, and commit to log their mentoring hours each month to help offset the cost of their mentee's college education.

The average mentoring/volunteer commitment is 1 hour a week. If you share our passion in wanting to help a girl realize global citizenship through mentoring, please apply via our website at: http://www.globalgivebackcircle.org/get-involved/mentor-a-girl/ for an application and a complete overview of the program and mentoring journey.

WE SAIL WITH A GREATER PURPOSE

You don’t need to bring much on this trip, because we have you covered. Once you step onto one of our Floating Health Care Clinic (FHCC) vessels, you will feel right at home. Our 45-65 foot catamarans and experienced captains will take you, your heart, and your fellow team members to some of the most beautiful remote islands you have ever seen. Although there will be plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, reading, hiking, fishing and quiet walks on the beaches; the main reason you are with us is to deliver the desperately needed health care services to the people on these remote islands.

WHO IS SEA MERCY?

Sea Mercy (www.seamercy.org) is a US based 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a simple vision and mission to "stand in the gap" with a service delivery vessel, trained health volunteers, support equipment, and critical care services until our island nation partners develop their "outer island" health care infrastructure. Operating from a growing fleet of large sailing catamarans, Sea Mercy provides and staffs free FHCC vessels for our island nation partner's remote islands.

Each health care specific team (4-8 volunteers) joins us for a two-week rotation
where we visit only the outer remote islands that do not have access to medical care, dental care and eye care services. Help us make a difference in the lives of these remote island people by joining us on a 2-week rotation.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Expect the unexpected at every stop. Just like a day at the office or hospital, every day on the FHCC vessel brings something new. From an incredible sunrise or sunset, a pod of whales or dolphins, or a new remote village. Whatever the day brings, will be a memory that we hope you will treasure and share with others.

Accommodations - Our sailing catamarans range from 45 to 65 feet in length and can carry from 4-8 volunteers. We have a few single bunks, but most will require you to share a queen cabin, so make sure you build the team you want.

Food - The food will be delicious and you will never be hungry for very long, but we are limited to what is available in the markets of our island nations (so bring your own special snacks to share if you like).

Destinations - You will be sailing through over 100+ remote islands in Fiji, visiting from 5-8 per rotation.

Culture - You will get to experience what the Fiji culture were most like in the distant past and learn from you host health ministry staff working with you.

Weather - Sun, rain, wind, and calm (possible all in one day), all wrapped in a 70-85 degree warm blanket called the South Pacific.

QUESTIONS?

We know that you will have many questions as you prepare for your medical mission rotation with us. Please visit our website or Facebook page for more details on our programs. You can also contact us via email or by phone. Thank you for your support and interest in Sea Mercy.
