The poster to your left contains a QR code which is readable by a smartphone (iPhone, Droid, etc.). Many people have downloaded a QR Code Reader to their phones because it's a quick way to go to a website without all the typing. The readers are usually free, so many people use them.
When they use the smartphone's camera, it will decode the image and take them to a URL. In our case, it will take the person to a secure Paypal site where they can donate any about they wish.
You can help us by clicking on the poster which will download a PDF that can be printed. If you would be kind enough to do that, you will probably find many places that will let you post it. It could be a church bulletin board. a break room, a cafeteria, a fast food place, or anywhere else you think might work. All of this will help us to raise the badly needed funds to help low and middle income families adopt a child. If you have any problems downloading the poster, please send us an email at info@TheOrphanFoundation.org and we'll send it to you via email.

Do you have two hours to share this month? Be honest. In two hours, you can choose to watch a movie, or go out to dinner, or change the world for a child who may otherwise be lost. Please choose to use just two hours of your time each month to help the children.
There are many ways to help. You could help us to place and manage donation boxes in stores near you. We'll send you everything you need, including a recommended script for explaining your request to store managers. Or maybe you'd like to create and run your own micro-fundraiser on our behalf. Just send us your idea below.
If you're a writer, perhaps you can help with grant writing, marketing, or PR. Multilingual? We could use your help with translations. Let us know your skills and interests below, and we'll let you know how you can change the world in just 2 hours per month.
We are constantly adding “Service Tours” to our program. Some are awareness tours where about one-third of the trip will be to meet and play with the children, and two-thirds will be enjoying the culture of that country. To keep up-to-date with our service tour program, please subscribe to our newsletter on the left side of this page.
Other programs are in poorer regions of the world where children are at extreme risk, and ministries and missions have taken over the fight to keep these children alive.
Think you might like to travel to Africa and help out at an orphanage? We have set up programs with 4 orphanages in South Africa, Kenya, and Uganda. To take a peek at two of the orphanages, click on Welcome Home Africa Orphanage or Buyamba Uganda. We are still in the process of uploading videos for Child of Destiny and Lily of the Valley Endeavor (LoVE) but they are also fine orphanages that are doing good work to help the children. If you think this is something for you, know that you will be required to get the appropriate shots for the trip, and that you may come in contact with illnesses. The orphanages will provide you with the list of things you might need, as well as the rules and regulations for participating at the orphanage. For more information contact us at Volunteer Africa and indicate which of the four orphanages you are interested in helping.
The Orphan Foundation's Kids4Kids Project
The Orphan Foundation announces the "Kids4Kids Project." This is a great program for students of all ages. If you are looking for community service work to show a college how you differ from other applicants, or if you are just searching for a way to give back to the community, you can help our foundation's mission by running a micro-fundraising project, an awareness project, or a volunteer project. We will give you an official student title, as well as give you a chance to win a Kids4Kids Skateboard when you raise $500 or more for our foundation.
To find out more, simply download our K4K sign-up package. You can also contact us by email for more information at: Kids4Kids@TheOrphanFoundation.org.
Volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocate
Volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and represent the interests of abused or neglected children who are being cared for in the United States Foster Care system. This interview took place on our local TV show in Southern California, and will give you a thorough understanding of the duties and responsibilities. We met with local CASA volunteers, but know that the program is national. In this clip you will meet 3 CASA Volunteers, the Interface organization that coordinates the activities of the CASA volunteers, and hear strong words of support from Dr. Phil and his wife Robin. You can also find more information at the following websites: Ventura Interface/CASA; National CASA: National CASA Program.
