Other Ways of Sponsoring children at Bethel Orphanage 1. Financial support,
2. Material donations (gifts in kind),
3. Administrative and technical support (including volunteer help),
4. Spiritual support (e.g. prayers, fasting, etc.),
5. Social support (e.g. linking Bethel’s homepage on your site, referring site to others, etc.) 1. FINANCIAL SUPPORT (continued from previous page) iii. Wire transfer:
Another method of sending your support is thorough wire transfer. Unfortunately a lot of online scams have painted a bad picture about wire transfers. Otherwise wire transfers are convenient since they involve you bank and Bethel’s bank making a transaction. You can speak to your bank official about how to make a wire transfer. Once you are familiar with this you can contact Bethel Orphanage to send you its account details. iv. Coming in Person:
Whenever it’s convenient please visit Bethel Orphanage and see all the areas of need you’d like to meet for the children. The Orphanage is still struggling financially on critical day to day needs. Long term needs of higher self sustenance for the Orphanage are slowly progressing. Many thanks to all the associates who are making this possible. God has been faithful in his care for the children through everyone that’s a part of his mission at Bethel Orphanage. May God bless you all for your support and partnership in service to the children. 2. MATERIAL DONATIONS (GIFTS IN KIND)
Material charitable donations or gifts in kind include food, clothing, books, pencils, chalk, multimedia materials (e.g. TV, computer related resources, stereo, video player, etc.), car, bus and all other tangible, non-financial donations. These can be mailed to Bethel Orphanage’s address given above, or if possible, can be brought in person when visiting Bethel.
3. ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT (INCLUDING VOLUNTEER HELP)
Bethel Orphanage needs volunteers to help with day to day operations and also long-term mission needs. Volunteer charitable support implies that Bethel Orphanage is unable to pay the valuable administrative and technical support it receives from volunteers. The Orphanage is still financially incapable of compensating volunteers, leave alone effectively supporting the children.
Short-term operations include helping in any of the administrative or technical work that Bethel staff handle. Long-term mission help include know how on the work of Bethel Orphanage. For instance, know how on orphanage childcare psychology, strategic management of charitable organizations, IT, system administration of IT resources, website and internet related administration, donor relations, fundraising (including ventures in for profit areas like agriculture), and so on. For helping in website and internet related administration please contact Bethel’s WebPublisher volunteer in this area, currently operating from the U.S.
Useful info for volunteers interested in visiting Bethel Orphanage
Please contact Bethel Orphanage on available areas for volunteer support and accommodation needs. Also do ensure that you are familiar with visa requirements. Visa information is available from the Zambia High Commission office in your country’s capital city. The embassy has a website in most of the large countries. Zambian Website gives some details for visitors from foreign countries.
Volunteers interested in touring the Kafue National Park may need to also know timing on seeing the best of the game reserve. This link to the Zambia National Tourist Board’s website has some useful information. You may also wish to visit the Victoria Falls, not too far from Kafue. Victoria Falls is the world’s largest waterfalls, and one of the world’s seven natural wonders. Please note that tourism interests are at the expense of volunteers. Bethel Orphanage staff can only be of use on the know how, being natives of Zambia. The Orphanage also has scant resources to afford paying volunteers for their administrative support at Bethel. Please ensure you have enough funds when arranging to travel. You can consult Bethel staff, tour agencies and others on estimated personal needs. We thank you for choosing Bethel Orphanage in your mission outreach of charitable service. Looking forward to seeing you or hearing from you. Thank you, on behalf of the children, for your support. A sacrifice worth more than words can explain.
