Welcome to “Sense the World”. We, Greg, Kirsten and Diarmuid, started this organization after visiting Southeast Asia and Peru and experiencing the unimaginable poverty that exists in these regions/countries. The conditions in many of the towns and villages are so bad that we began bringing huge duffel bags full of donated items to give to the local people.
The response to our donations was so great that we have decided to start our own non-profit organization that takes our idea to another level and scale of aid. The goal of “Sense the World” is to distribute to the poorest regions of the world donated goods associated with the "senses".
We have identified the most popular items, those most requested by the local people:
“Hearing” - hearing aids
“Sight” - eyeglasses
“Taste” - toothbrushes, toothpaste and vitamins
“Smell” - shampoo and soap
“Touch” - latex gloves, first aid kits and sewing kits
We plan to not only return to these places we have visited and establish long-term relationships with them, but also visit new places establishing new connections around the world.
