| 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.
"You may donate to Robin
through the Sakthi Foundation in three ways.
-
By sending a check to the Sakthi
Foundation, with "For Robin Lim's work" (or Yayasan
Bumi Sehat) in the memo line. Mail the checks to The
Sakthi Foundation, 1507 Lone Oak Circle, Fairfield, IA
-52556.
-
By wiring
funds to the Sakthi
Foundation; contact both Sakthi and the Robin Lim
Support organization via email as listed above,
for instructions and as notification; and
-
By transferring funds into
Sakthi's PayPal account. Clicking the PayPal button
on Robin's dedicated Sakthi page (use the link below)
will automatically earmark the donation for Robin's
Foundation.
(The above information is
copied from
Robin's page on the Sakthi
Foundation website.)
Contributions donated to Robin
through the Sakthi Foundation are
tracked accurately and they receive U.S. tax-exemption
benefits. Many thousands of dollars have been
transferred through Sakthi to Robin's organization over
the years.
If you are donating
significant funds through Sakthi, it is wise to
email all parties concerned, before you make your
contribution, so that we all may expect and most
easily process your gift. Because of this chain of emails,
be sure to specify in your notification that your gift is
coming through the Sakthi Foundation.
Please email your intention to
donate throught the Sakthi Foundation to:
- ??@BumiSehatBali.org
-
donations@SakthiFoundation, and
-
donations@RobinLimSupport.org
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. |
