'Not Just Tourists - Edmonton' was initiated in Edmonton in January
2005 and is patterned after 'Not
Just Tourists' in the Niagara Region, a highly successful
program that has been in existence for more than a decade. Prompted
by their success, numerous other 'Not
Just Tourist' have come into existence across Canada.
'Not Just Tourists' is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit project that collects surplus medicines and medical supplies for use in Cuba and other developing countries. Canadians traveling on business or vacation deliver these much-needed supplies to doctors and clinics at their travel destinations. Donated supplies are packed in donated suitcases, which the traveler delivers to a designated recipient. This delivery of humanitarian aid complies with the laws of the recipient country and Canada. It is a valuable contribution to people in need of medications and medical supplies. 'Not Just Tourists' provides a unique and rewarding opportunity to meet with people abroad – outside of the tourist industry. |
