Third Wave Volunteers' disaster response teams work on short and long-term missions with the motto of LOVE IN ACTION.
When disaster strikes, the strength of a response is measured by who is already standing beside the community. For the past five years, Third Wave Volunteers has been working alongside the Indigenous Wayuu people across La Guajira in Colombia and Venezuela, building trusted relationships that extend far beyond emergency relief. In the wake of the devastating earthquake in Venezuela, we are immediately expanding our existing mission to reach earthquake-affected Indigenous and neighboring urban and rural communities with medical care, safe drinking water, emergency food, solar lights, shelter supplies, and other critical essentials.
While the world’s attention will soon move elsewhere, our commitment will not. We will continue walking alongside these communities throughout their recovery, helping families rebuild with dignity, resilience, and hope. Your support doesn’t fund a temporary response; it strengthens a long-term humanitarian mission that is already on the ground and will remain there for years to come.
We are a trusted 25-year Florida non-profit 501 (c) (3) that takes no salaries - all donations go to help the people on the ground in a disaster. Tax receipts available.
Love Dr. Alison Thompson OAM- Founder- Third Wave Volunteers.
