In China

Contacting our Coordinator/Orphanages/Adoption Officials

We request that all the families refrain from asking our coordinator, local guides, Adoption Officials and Orphanage staff their addresses, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers. Additionally, please do not give your address, e-mail address, or phone number to these people in China.  We have instructed our coordinators not to ask for this kind of information from families.  This is to ensure that our work is performed at it's best and avoid any potential problems. If you wish to keep in contact with anyone, please send your letter to our St. Louis Office with adequate postage and we will be able to mail it to China for you.   

Making Humanitarian Aid Donations While Traveling

CHI is privileged to be able to carry out an extensive humanitarian aid program in China. While traveling, families are able to see many of our efforts up-close and are often touched so deeply that they want to make a financial gift so that the work may continue. 

If, you do choose to give a donation directly to an orphanage or to our in-country staff while traveling, it will be used for the purpose given, but please keep the following in mind:

• Donations made in China are not tax-deductible according to IRS regulations and the receipt you receive cannot be used for this purpose.

• You will not receive a personal follow-up on how the donations are used, but can visit the official website for CHI's China office (www.childrenshope.org.cn/blog) for constant updates on humanitarian aid projects being conducted.

 Tax-deductible gifts can be made through our secure website (www.childrenshope.net) when you have access to a computer - whether in the hotel, at the Beijing office, or back in the U.S. All donations made through our website go straight back to China for the designated project of the donor's choice, in accordance with CHI's donation policy and procedures.
