There is a church that I used to go to named Bethel.They go to Africa frequently in order to build a house for orphans and widows to live in. I think it's in Rwanda..sorry if that's spelt wrong. I can't remember. Their number is 360-254-8882. You can always call and ask how you can get involved with the "house of innocence."

Answer 4

We all have problems with volunteering. I have a tax deductible charitible organization and I have to go out and find people in need of help to get other people to donate to us to help these people.

Seeing that you are in a chance to volunteer and there has been many problems there, in the country you want to help, it would be easy for you to get donations from people here in america, by channeling it through an organization that is tax deductible. This way people wont feel they are giving and not getting a benifit for giving.

I know this to be true becausepeople will only give to my organization to help other people in other countries, most of the time, when they are sure the organization is legit.

If you want to get funds then you will have to get with a tax deductible organization like mines so that the communities here will be able to check the organization with the government and get a tax break on their donations. Then you will have to help that organization get the word out to the people so that the people will know they can give to your organization or cause through that organization, and the funds will come in. I know that the people here would pour money to you because they are always looking for ways to send money back to poor countries.

And this is the government website where you can check that my organization and any other organization is real. http://www.irs.gov/app/pub-78/search.do?...
