Exxat Cares Trip 2024

Join the Exxat community on a transformative journey to
India, where we come together, engage in service, and make
a positive impact through the Exxat Cares Trip.

Overview

Exxat is proud to support organizations that work to empower underprivileged
communities and make a difference in society. These organizations are an integral
part of the Exxat family, and we are honored that our employees and clients
wholeheartedly contribute to and embrace our initiatives.

The trip is tentatively scheduled for Feb 5th to Feb 12th, 2024.

For this year's Exxat Cares, we will be partnering with the Apalaghar orphanage.
The orphanage, a 2017 Exxat Cares partner, is affiliated with both a hospital and
a mobile health unit that provides on-site care to residents of the surrounding rural
areas on a daily basis. Participants in the trip will have the opportunity to spend
time with the children living at Apalaghar, provide care in the hospital, and
travel to rural villages to render community-based services.

The trip exceeded my expectations.
We were immersed in the culture and exposed
to both the beauty and needs of rural India.
I hope that Exxat Cares and schools will continue
to develop sustainable opportunities for
service learning in India.”

I wanted to thank you all again for the incredible
experience and opportunity you provided all of us with.
We really did end up getting far more than we gave on
that trip, and I not only found it personally so very
fulfilling but also professionally extremely regenerating.
I feel so fortunate to have participated in the trip.”

As much as I gave by providing physical therapy
services, the country gave back to me tenfold - the
warm welcomes, hospitality, and sheer gratitude
we received were unparalleled. The Exxat Cares
trip has truly changed the way I look at the
world around me. ”
