| Stellen-Beschreibung: |
The International Humanity Foundation is a non-religious, non-political, non-profit organization run by volunteers across the globe. Our goal is to empower the poorest of the poor through education, enabling them to stay off the streets and preventing them from ever being exploited. This organization supports over 4,000 children in Indonesia, Thailand and Kenya on a budget of about $8,000 per month. It is so little, but it makes such a difference. Our office is in San Diego, U.S.A., and we are looking for volunteers to help us right from their homes! We desire volunteers who would love to help this amazing cause. Our volunteers are divided into task teams in order to maintain organization and achieve our goals. Check out the following teams, and see where you would work best!
1 - Advertising - Members of this team help create advertisements from posters to Flash ads. The goal of this team is to compile a library of ready-to-go advertisements for every possible purpose, so volunteers can take advantage of advertising opportunities as soon as they arise. Team members also help establish an IHF advertising presence in various publications and on websites.
2 - Booth display - Volunteers on this team set up booths which promote IHF. The goal of the booths is two-fold: to attract new sponsors and new local volunteers and IHF members. You will be provided with posters, brochures and gift sponsorship cards for each type of sponsorship. This position may involve expenses such as printing, but an important related task is to find local people and businesses willing to offer these services for free.
3 - Buildings - This team helps IHF centers host paying tourists, so the community can better own and benefit from its cultural heritage. This income is then returned to the center and community. whose payment is directed back into the community. Team members also oversee the physical upkeep of IHF centers. The team especially needs electricians, plumbers, agronomists, agriculturalists, carpenters, handymen, architects and engineers.
4 - Cinematography - Members of this team are responsible for recording activities at IHF centers and Carol`s lectures. We are also looking into establishing an investigative documentary team. Skill in filming and editing are, of course, necessary, and team members will have to supply most of their own equipment as IHF`s resources are limited in this regard.
5 - Classes - This team work with all the other fundraising teams to make sure that every child and class is sponsored. Members brainstorm sponsor drive ideas and are responsible for keeping everyone in IHF updated with how many children are sponsored and still need one.
6 - Orphans Sponsor Drive - Member duties are to send out an e-mail once a week with the current number of sponsors needed written in the subject line. This is necessary to keep every volunteer focused on how many sponsors are needed. It is irresponsible for us to have any IHF volunteer unaware of the current sponsorship situation as it changes weekly.

12 - Legal International - As a member of this team, you will be researching the many legal issues which IHF faces as an international charity and finding lawyers in the various nations we operate in for help.

25 - Guardians - Team members are assigned to 10-15 of our children and act as their guardian. For un-sponsored children, this means finding them a sponsor. For sponsored children, it is your duty to make sure the sponsor is in contact with the child. In any case, you are also required to keep in contact with the children yourself and send them messages on their birthdays and other special occasions. Team members are also involved in gift drives to collect money, or used toys and books to give to the kids on holidays and birthdays.
