SUGGESTIONS TO CHANGE YAYASAN BUMI SEHAT WEBSITE--donations page

OLD TEXT

NEW REWORDING--in black means assumed agreement   in blue means  suggestions from Bruce at RobinLimSupport.org, which still need to be OKed by the YSB people. Green means specific questions which need to be addressed. This done, we will send everything on to Frederic , to have him actually update the YSB site.
As a not for profit organisation we have had to rely heavily on the kindness and generosity of others without whom we would not be here today. Whilst extending our utmost gratitude to those who have already given so unselfishly of their time and resources, we would like to invite others to join this movement by making whatever contribution they can to this cause. You can make two kinds of contributions:
  • The first is by contributing physical items which are needed for the daily operations of Robin's clinics--and in some cases is the only way we can receive certain essential materials.  Please consult our "wish list" page to discover what is needed, and how to supply it.
  • The second type of donation is as a cash contribution, which is the major method of how Bumi Sehat Bali has existed, survived and grown for all its years in operation. These donations are appreciated immensely.

To make a cash contribution, you can either wire funds directly to Bumi Sehat Bali, or you may donate through the Sakthi Foundation, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in the United States. In the latter case, you will receive an official letter of acknowledgment for your U.S. tax records.

TO WIRE FUNDS DIRECTLY TO BUMI SEHAT, use the following information: 

 

 
 
TO MAKE A U.S. TAX-EXEMPT DONATION, go to Robin's page on the www.SakthiFoundation.org website (Sakhti Foundation).

We thank you profusely for all donations to Robin Lim and the Yayasan Bumi Sehat foundation. Anything you do in this regard, will make the coming of souls onto this earth ever so much more gentle, and will lessen the economic burden of the destitute mothers of Bali and Aceh Province.

 
As a not for profit organization Bumi Sehat has relied heavily on the kindness and generosity of others without whom we would not be here today. Whilst extending our utmost gratitude to those who have already given so unselfishly of their time and resources, we would like to invite others to join the Bumi Sehat family by making whatever contribution they can to this movement to bring healthy babies peacefully into the world.

There are two ways to contribute:

  • The first is by contributing physical items which are needed for the daily operations of Robin's clinics; in some cases this is the ONLY way we can receive certain essential materials.  Please consult our "WISH LIST" page to discover what items are currently most needed, and how they can be supplied most effectively.
  • The second type of donations, cash contributions, have been Bumi Sehat's major funding source since it's beginning. These donations have enabled the clinic to survive and grow for over ten years. These donations are appreciated immensely, and are utilized to extend our services to as many families as possible.

To make a cash contribution, one may  either wire funds directly to Bumi Sehat Bali, or donate through the Sakthi Foundation, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in the United States. If you contribute through the Sakthi Foundation, you will receive an official letter of acknowledgment for your U.S. tax returns.

TO WIRE FUNDS DIRECTLY TO BUMI SEHAT, use the following information:  (Frederic--note that this graphic is changed in that it contains a slightly different street address from the original--45, not 115)

 

 "Your wiring of funds will be acknowledged by_______________________________)

Note that responses from our financial team in Bali are improving. It is has be hard because banks in Bali are not great at letting us know what has come into our account. Often we must wait for the reconciliation of a month's transactions to find out what has happened--and then, the bank here provides no information about the origination of wired deposits.

When money shows up, and we ask where it came from, we often get "we don't know" response.

??What about the suggestion by Pradheep that it is dangerous (by his experience to publish one's account details on a website????

For this reason, it is better that you either email or call? us (which exact Bumi Sehat email address will always be totally dependable and timely in response????) before you wire funds to us, so that we will know what to look for.

THE SECOND MANNER OF MAKING CONTRIBUTIONS TO Bumi Sehat is  through the Sakthi Foundation in Fairfield, Iowa, USA, either wired or via check.
