International Travel Updates
Good News Project began as an international service trip vehicle for volunteers under the gentle and capable leadership of our founders, Dr Chuck & Peg MacCarthy. Centralized in Wausau, Wisconsin Good News Project was created in 1983, with a focus on providing housing, medical and dental work, education for sustainable living and companionship for the poor.
Our organizational history of service and values stems from a 43-year presence in the West Indies. We have partnered with other institutions and built meaningful friendships with people in the countries of St Lucia, St Vincent, Dominica, Grenada and Union Island.
Through volunteer labor and generous housing sponsorships, our organizational family of over 600 volunteers housed over 1,400 people across the four countries
Starting in 2023 and once again being offered in July 2026, we have chosen to support a St. Lucian led collaboration with the St. Lucian Ministry of Education and Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. A week-long Math Camp was developed to “even the odds” and uplift the younger generation through math education. Uniquely identifying that students who excel in math will excel in business and, eventually, support the economic development of their own country.
