Take Action for Those Who Can't!

Volunteer Page Image It is time for us to take a stand to raise awareness of the global conditions of orphaned and abandoned children around the world and provide them with the resources they need for a better future. Join us in celebrating the chance for a better life for these children by taking part in World Orphan Week 2007!

World Orphan Week 2007 is a campaign to empower people like you to take action and bring hope to the life of an orphaned child.

Here are some ways you can get involved:

  • Start your own WOW campaign - Download your volunteer fundraising kit, which includes creative ideas for fundraising, informational flyers, pledge forms, and everything else you need to get started.

  • Create Your Own My WOW Webpage - You can create your own webpage to tell your friends, family and colleagues why you are involved in World Orphan Week, promote your WOW events, and have people contribute online.
  • to help SOS Children’s Villages provide these children with the warm home and loving family they deserve.

  • Get the word out about WOW and SOS-USA - Send letters to your friends, call your family, email your colleagues, and tell everyone you see. Spread the word about the conditions of orphaned and abandoned children, and tell people how they too can take action by becoming a part of World Orphan Week!

    • With your help, SOS Children's Villages is able to provide children with a family, a home, an education, and a better tomorrow.

    Together, we will bring attention to some of the causes of child abandonment: HIV/AIDS, war, and extreme poverty, illustrated through the situations within of Botswana, Lebanon, Jamaica, and Cambodia. No matter the circumstance, SOS Children’s Villages have continued to provide not only a home, but a family, an education, and a positive future to so many children around the world.

    Each person who signs up online to be a volunteer will receive a Volunteer Welcome Packet and World Orphan Week t-shirt as seen below.
