JERSEY HANDS AROUND THE WORLD (HATWJ) is the charity arm, in the island of Jersey, of the UK-registered charitable trust.

 

HANDS AROUND THE WORLD was founded in 1994 by Dr. David Steiner, who for many years lived and worked as a doctor in general practice in Jersey. He became involved with the States of Jersey Overseas Aid Programme and became increasingly concerned for people in developing countries. Following a year with his family working in a rural hospital in Zambia, David and Lynda returned to England where they established the organisation.

 

Jersey Hands Around the World maintains the original link with the island, and provides a network for past team members, present sponsors and future volunteers to keep supporting the work of the charity.



Charitable aims

 

HANDS AROUND THE WORLD seeks to help vulnerable children around the world, responding to specific needs by:

  - sending groups of volunteers on projects lasting about a month to places of need such as hospitals, schools and community centres.  

  - sending individual skilled volunteers to such places, often in a training role, and hopefully followed by further input a short time later.



 

 

The projects aim to: 

  • show love in action;
  • help people work side by side;
  • relieve suffering;
  • achieve something lasting and worthwhile;
  • broaden the experience of the volunteers and to develop lasting links between communities.
