GIFT- The Reg Gilbert International Friendship Trust

The Reg Gilbert International Friendship Trust

The philosophy of GIFT is that the character and development of young people can be further improved through direct contact with people of other cultures.

The Trustees believe this can be best achieved by living with a host family in a developing country, not as an honoured guest, but by becoming an ordinary member of that family.

GIFT believe that living and volunteering within an indigenous community is the only way to experience the true reality of another culture. The experience will not only be emotionally and physically challenging, but it will provide a life-long perspective when dealing with other people, wherever life takes you!
