About Great Wall Cares®
While
millions of visitors have had the opportunity to walk on the
Great Wall, we at Great Wall Adventure Club want to shine a
spotlight on those individuals living along Great Wall, and to
give hope and encourage progress to them and their community.
We are committed to
ensuring that all of our clients have a positive environmental
and cultural impact on the places they go and the people they
meet. In order to expand
upon this idea we have formed a new charitable organization
called Great Wall Cares. Through aiding the local economy in
terms of education, jobs, and stability, we are striving to
improve the lives for these hard-working and wonderful people.
While much of the international media spotlight
on China has been focusing on the cities and urban areas, Great Wall
Cares wants to shift the conversation to China’s rural areas, many
of which are struggling with poverty and a lack of education. Great
Wall Cares sees a world where the needs of those in rural China are
given the careful attention and support they deserve from people and
organizations from around the world.
Great Wall Cares plans on tackling the issues
facing rural China in a multitude of ways, by giving, teaching,
training, through the support of our partner businesses, charities,
and schools, and by the creation of a Great Wall Charity Trek,
information on which will be upcoming in the next few months. For
more information on the upcoming Great Wall Charity Trek and all of
our other current efforts please refer to the “Great Wall Charity
Trek” and “Current Initiatives” tabs at the top of this website.
Simply put, at Great Wall Cares, we’ve been
inspired. The places and the connections that we’ve made during our
travels along the Great Wall- whether it’s been with the people, the
land, or just the vitality of a certain area - is what drives us to
utilize the powerful reach of tourism to create a positive,
sustainable impact on the Great Wall that we all cherish. Great Wall
Cares endeavors to build a Great Wall for an even greater tomorrow.
