Global Village Voice

Remember that you can support GVS at no cost to you just by searching for what you want to find on the web. Designate Global Village School as your charity and use the GoodSearch engine!

GoodShop works the same way.  While we encourage you to buy local when you can, many of the places you are planning to shop this holiday season probably participate, and all you need to do is designate Global Village School as your charity ad click through to the site you want to shop at from the GoodShop website.  The merchant and Goodshoop will coordinate the rest!

James, a GVS 4^th grader living in Curacao, has started volunteering for an animal shelter in a very low-income neighborhood. On James’s first day, people had the opportunity to have their pets spayed/neutered for free. They treated 29 dogs and one cat. James helped pick up the animals at their homes and helped them relax. He was given a t-shirt for his efforts, and was on TV and in the newspaper. Great work, James!
