Crystal Cruises? guests and staff this fall will help international refugees resettle in Canada, Massachusetts children-in-need survive winter, feed the hungry in Halifax and care for stray/rescued donkeys in Antigua?all as part of the line?s ?You Care, We Care? program.
Volunteer opportunities are offered gratis on every 2011 sailing, providing an alternative cultural perspective to traditional shore excursions.
Participants may assist four aid organizations on five East Coast Crystal Symphony voyages:
????????? Cradles to Crayons (9/16 and 10/8, Boston): Prepare vital winter items for homeless/low-income children, from schoolbags to warm coats and shoes.
????????? Romero House (9/30, St. John, New Brunswick): Provide kitchen aid for a housing community that assists less fortunate locals and resettling refugees.
????????? Feed Nova Scotia (10/20, Halifax): Help food bank preparation/distribution.
????????? Donkey Sanctuary at the Antigua & Barbuda Humane Society (10/31, Antigua): Feed, clean or walk the shelter?s stray donkeys, dogs and cats.
Crystal?s ?You Care, We Care? program, launched in January, thus far has helped orphans, animals and the environment. June/July projects have included caretaking cats and birds at the oldest independent animal protection organization in Norway and rehabbing an eco-friendly salmon hatchery and education facility in Alaska.
