Universal Orlando Resort has partnered with Give Kids The World Village and is now offering a special opportunity for its Guests with their new Volunteer Vacation Package! Guests who book this package will not only spend two days at Universal Orlando’s theme parks, they will also spend a day making dreams come true for children battling life-threatening illnesses. If that weren’t enough, for each package booked, Universal Orlando will donate $100 to Give Kids The World Village!
“Give Kids The World is a non-profit organization that exists only to fulfill the wishes of all children with life-threatening illnesses and their families from around the world to experience a memorable, joyful, cost-free visit to the Central Florida attractions, and to enjoy the magic of Give Kids The World Village for as long as there is a need.” (Excerpt from Give Kids The World Village website). At Give Kids The World Village, kids come face-to-face with their favorite storybook characters, receive makeovers and face paintings, enjoy special ice cream parties and more.
I’ve had many friends volunteer at Give Kids The World Village and some have even been the recipients of their hospitality. For those battling illnesses and for their caregivers and famiily, Give Kids the World Village is a wonderful getaway from their every day struggles. If you’re interested in turning your next vacation into something more, book your very own Volunteer Vacation Package!

Excellent article Lisa! Having been the recipient of both a Make a Wish trip and having the opportunity to volunteer, we have seen both sides of the GKTW. Volunteers are blessed to be able to serve, just as the families are blessed to get a much needed respite. Thank you for allowing us to help spread the joy of the village! <3
