Several times per year Generations Humanitarian takes groups to Peru and Colombia to perform humanitarian service. For most, meeting your fellow expedition members, immersing yourself in the culture, serving those in need and working with the children becomes a life-changing experience. Working beside the Latin American poor touches the hearts of those who give and those who receive. Our expeditions are carried out in a safe and professional way to provide a unique and personal glimpse into the heart and soul of the Latin American world. We invite you to come along and join us in 2026 and 2027.
Expedition projects for 2026 will focus on relief and development for refugees and construction of our Yucay Orphanage. Medical and dental projects may be added to existing construction expeditions as medical personnel sign on. The most important skills on expeditions are hard work and a good attitude. When you sign up, remember you will be going to a developing nation that often lacks the quality of services you expect at home. Things will go wrong. That is part of the adventure. Patience and understanding go a long way towards making each of those situations enjoyable instead of frustrating.

Venezuela (San Felipe and Valencia), July, August, or September 2026
Late summer 2026. This expedition is to build a home for our Villa el Fuerte project in Venezuela. You will be among the first Americans to enter the country since 2014. The Venezuelan children are starving and we have had more than one child die this past year because the Maduro regime prohibited us from feeding them (and threatened our leadership with prison and death). If you have interest and construction experience, please come along. Contact us individually. We will enter with the blessing and support of the US State Department. Call Van if you are interested in going (801-859-1033).
Patagonia End of the World Ride, February 8 – 27, 2027

"After all my travels throughout Peru, I was shocked to see the level of poverty in the center of Colombia. The people of Colombia are beautiful, gracious and eager to help their own, but unsure of where to begin. I was honored to spend a few days in Colombia with the children from the drop-in centers. I felt safe and reassured that we were well taken care of. When you meet and interact with the street children of Colombia there is a sense of home and belonging. I would recommend the experience to those wanting to really see how they can make a difference."
