Change For Orphans is Here!
Change for Orphans Program is upon us. The school year is about to begin for many, and we are so excited to launch this awesome program.
EVERY PENNY MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
What the program is?
The Change for Orphans Program allows students and educators a like to come together and learn about what these orphaned children experience on a day to day basis as well as work together to make a REAL difference in the lives of orphaned children in the world today by raising funds to provide them with a loving and safe-home.
Most children today don’t have to worry about what they are going to eat when they get home that night, who is going to bandage their boo boos, or where they are going to sleep that night. Orphaned children live with this reality daily.
When most children in the United States can at least look forward to school where they will receive at least one filling meal 5 days a week, children in places like Uganda and Jamaica can never even imagine affording an education much less one that meant they could look forward to a meal each day.
Its easy for children today to go on about their lives playing, learning, and giggling without really ever knowing that kids just like themselves are alone, hungry, and scared. Never knowing what love or having a home really means.
This program gives children the opportunity to develop empathy, compassion, love, and leadership skills that allow them to grow up into individuals who will continue to work on bettering the lives of those around them through out the rest of their lives. It gives them the opportunity to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of others, even children just like themselves.
It’s clear the children will benefit from Change for Orphans but the educators and the adults around them will as well.
Many adults have never known about or had the opportunity to change the lives of orphaned children. Most people think that they need to go on expensive mission trips or donate large sums of money out of their pockets to even be able to make a dent in the need these orphans have. But this program provides them with an opportunity to raise funds and make a difference that they would not have been able to make otherwise.
How it works?
Change for Orphans works like this.
The class will work together to raise funds to bring orphans homes of hope where they can experience love, education, and healthcare for the first time in their lives. The more the class collects the greater their reward!
1. First begin by setting a goal.
For example:
- $500 wins a pizza party for your class and the class gets featured on the Project Orphans social media sites.
- $750 wins a pizza party and a sweet treat for your class, while also being featured on our social media sites, and blog.
- $1000 goal for the end of the semester wins a pizza party and the class gets featured not only on the Project Orphans social media sites, and blog, but also on our main website!
- If your class is that incredible that they exceed the $1000 goal Project Orphans will decide your ultimate reward on top of the pizza party and being featured on our web pages based on how much you earned above the $1000 (We promise you will not be disappointed!)
2. Find an empty milk jug, condiment jar, mason jar or whatever kind of container your class can come up with (feel free to be creative!) to collect your donations in.
3. Brainstorm some ideas on how to stir up awareness in school, at home, and in the community in order to raise funds!
For example:
- A bake sale
- Car wash
- Going door-to-door
- Save your change day to day after lunch
4. Now that you’re all ready to get started, there is no wrong way to raise funds. Encourage the kids to get creative and most importantly, have fun with it!
Throughout your Change for Orphans program we will send you bi-monthly stories of orphaned children at our home. That way the class can connect to who they are helping and put faces and names to the lives that they are actively working to change.
Contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions or to get started. Also if you know a school or teacher that would be interested in getting involved, pass it along. We are all in this together.
Let's be the change,
The Project Orphans Team
