Continuing Promise 2010
About the mission:
“Continuing Promise is an annual humanitarian civic assistant
operation supported by U.S. and international military medical
personnel, U.S. government agencies, regional health ministries,
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and U.S. academic institutions.
The relationships which are built amongst our partners help to preserve
peace and stability with Central and South America and the Caribbean
region.” (USS IWO JIMA, 2010).
On July 19th 2010, two GKB volunteers, Janina Viteri and Kari Williams, embarked on a fascinating humanitarian trip on behalf of “Give a Kid a Backpack”. The entire trip lasts for a total duration of 4 months! GKB is joining forces with the U.S. military on a special mission called Continuing Promise. GKB is thankful to our donors and volunteers, to have the opportunity to distribute 4,000 backpacks filled with school supplies between Costa Rica, Guatemala, Guyana, and Colombia.
