Review for Helping Children Worldwide, Chantilly, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I've seen first-hand the results of HCW's work, its demonstrable value, and most importantly, the return on donors’ investments. HCW uses a balanced, holistic approach in addressing basic human needs, and in its work to relieve human pain and suffering. In a very focused manner, it helps those abandoned and hurting, whether it’s the orphan from a tragic civil war, a new born or the new mother facing one of the highest mortality rates in the world, or a child who lacks the necessary vocational skills or formal education necessary to escape from a future that promises only more poverty, pain, and suffering. From end-to-end and top to bottom, HCW as an organization is accountable, transparent, and effective in its delivery of life-saving, life-enhancing, and life-sustaining services. HCW’s organizational DNA is unique, and is what distinguishes it from other organizations. Composed of life-changing eternal values and principles, HCW’s DNA reflects the best that humankind has to offer.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Bo, Sierra Leone.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Clone it :-),... and use it as a template for other areas of the world.

Would you volunteer for this group again?

Definitely

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)

I traveled to Bo, Sierra Leone, expecting to be the "giver" and the children the recipients; however, as it turned out, I was the recipient--the recipient of overwhelming love and compassion from those who have nothing else to give.

How did this volunteer experience make you feel?

Humbled, blessed, grateful

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2011

Role:  Volunteer & Dug 300 linear feet of drainage ditches to divert water from building structures, listened to the children's hopes and dreams, repaired and improved rooms, installed mosquito bed nets, etc.
