Singular Humanitarian experience

Singular Humanitarian was formed unofficially in 2008 by a group of friends in Washington D.C. singles. We wanted to create meaningful opportunities for LDS young and mid-singles to "be anxiously engaged in a good cause" in a unique environment of service and build new and meaningful relationships. Looking to do something different and more substan... tial than just another than just another singles conference, weekend trip, or cruise we were looking to combine the idea of an amazing trip where you visit a great place, meet awesome people and actually serve people in need using our skills and talents. So we set off to do just that. Singular Humanitarian's inaugural expedition to Guatemala in August 2009 brought together 89 volunteers for eight days. Possibly the largest gathering of LDS singles united in international humanitarian service at one time, our group participated in multi-faceted sustainable humanitarian development initiatives. Directed by the seasoned non-profit organization, CHOICE Humanitarian, we served together with the Mayan Q'eqchi' families in a cluster of six villages in the remote Polochic Valley. This service expedition to Guatemala was such a success that the expeditioners wanted to go back to Guatemala the following year and even expand to do travel and serve in other countries. Upon returning home, the trip organizers decided to establish Singular Humanitarian as a standalone non-profit organization focused on creating opportunities for young and mid-single LDS professionals and their friends to serve together around the world in sustainable humanitarian development projects.Read More
