TheBigDay honeymoon registry has developed a co-branded registry for volunteers through Global Volunteer Network to raise travel funds. Extreme poverty can be eradicated in our lifetime. When you register with TheBigDay the option is there to donate money to projects with GVNF and take part of this goal. Why not be socially conscious? Creating a gift registry for your big day doesn't always have to be for your wedding! The Global Volunteer Network, based in New Zealand, organizes volunteer travel to developing countries around the world. These volunteer workers can now use TheBigDay honeymoon registry to request gifts for their big day - flying to Africa or other developing countries. |
