in Peru.
G
lobal First Responder, led by founder Adam Beckett '95,
has embarked on yet another impactful journey, this
time to the Amazon Rainforest in Peru. Team GFR was able
to engage in medical treatment and education initiatives,
contributing to the well-being of local communities. Along
with that, the GFR construction team's impressive feat of
building a 2,000-square-foot community center (in just four
days) added a significant, lasting impact to the region.
Phi Delta Theta was also represented on this trip by Adam's
two younger brothers, Daniel '99 and Andrew '06, and
fellow Missouri Alphas Mike Ruesler '15 and Micah
Anderson '22. Global First Responder continues to execute
its mission of advocating for global healthcare equality
and partnering with communities in need to undertake and
complete sustainability and infrastructure projects.
If any fellow brothers are interested in volunteering
or donating with Global First Responder, please visit
