"Journeys With Heart" is a committee of enterprising, resourceful, dedicated volunteers from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada who are committed to fundraising initiatives and philanthropy that benefit non-profits through local events and travel. The committee was formed in 2009 as a result of a very successful fundraising tour to India, called "Namaste" benefiting the BC Women's Hospital and He
alth Centre Foundation in October 2008. When asked what one might expect from the exclusive opportunities that are created when a partnership between a group of volunteers, a local travel agent, a local celebrity and local non-profit organizations this was formed. For the donors/travellers whose active participation is encouraged, the benefits are emotionally gratifying (the featured non-profit realizes a donation from each guest on the tour that is tax receipt eligible); for the the non-profit, an opportunity to raise funds and educate the public through a unique medium; for the travel agent, an opportunity to give back to the community through exclusive exhilariting travel experiences, tours and events limited only by one's imagination; for the celebrities, with an invitation to participate and anticipated support, a hope to further enhance and give credence to these fundraising opportunities for the non-profit agency; for the members of Journeys With Heart making a difference is what it's all about.
