Both of my daughters were adopted from China and there is a desire to give back to help other children. However, I am very cautious about donating to organizations unless I can see some accountability for the funds.
This is where Love Without Boundaries stands out. Due to the volunteer structure of the organization, only a very small percent of funding is need to support administration. The true test is the results that sponsors can see on the sponsor reports and the medical missions.
After supporting this organization through donations, I also became a volunteer. That's when I found out what heart the organization has. Daily e-mails flow around the world to find the best ways to help these children in need. The energy of this organization is incredible.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
seeing changes in individual children over time. The nutrition program produces obvious results, the education program gives hope for the future, the foster care allows children to thrive and medical interventions that save and change lives.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
seeing the integrity that guides the decision making. Too many needs and not enough funds makes for tough choices, so seeing how these tough choices are made shows me that it is not run on a whim.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
definitely team players. People work together for the greatest good of the children, becoming advocates for those who cannot advocate for themselves.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
make decision on its work solely on the basis of need instead of having to say no when they want to say yes to funding a need.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
