WHERE ARE WE GOING?
As the popularity of the IDC grows and more students want to take part in the experience, the IDC will need to increase in size. Although this growth may take several years, the success of current IDC programs and the subsequent demand for more and larger travel experiences would seem to indicate that this growth might need to occur quite quickly. Very shortly, the IDC could be in a position to send multiple teams from several universities to sites across the world.
To accomplish this end, the IDC needs to continually develop partnerships with existing aid and humanitarian organizations. This is our first, and perhaps greatest, area of need. We need our supporters to tell those who have dedicated their lives to helping people about the IDC and how it could support their efforts. Only then will the skills of the students bring about the playgrounds, gardens, community centers and homes required by communities and organizations in need throughout the world. Secondly, the IDC needs material support. To design, students need paper, pens, computers, and model-making equipment; to build, students need tools and materials. Without this support, the students simply cannot give their talents to those in need. Finally, the IDC needs financial support to provide travel fellowships for participating students and help host organizations pay for the materials required to complete the project. It is hoped that this support will eventually allow the IDC to endow permanent travel fellowships and hire full-time staff – key components to the future growth of this experience.
