Stephanie from Davenport, Florida discovered a way to volunteer from thousands of miles away.
Through ChristianVolunteering.org, Stephanie found an opportunity to serve as a virtual administrative assistant for Orphanages of Africa--an international humanitarian organization in Canada.
Virtual volunteering is a way for volunteers to serve online from their office or home. On ChristianVolunteering.org, there are virtual volunteering opportunities like grant writing, computer programming, language translation, web design, and marketing where people can volunteer without having to travel.
As a virtual volunteer, Stephanie served as a liaison between Orphanages of Africa and other various orphanages. She formatted monthly field reports that were submitted to her organization from other orphanages and then distributed them to various partners. Additionally, Stephanie provided administrative support by typing up meeting minutes and notes, updating contact lists, and corresponding with those seeking help from her organization. Stephanie also prayed for the various orphanages and the orphans they serve. “While to me these tasks seem very simple I have come to learn that my assistance has been very valuable to the President of OFA and has allowed her to do more of the work necessary to obtain the items that our various orphanage partners need.”
Upon reflecting her virtual volunteering experience so far, Stephanie says, “I am very grateful that I have been allowed to be used by God to complete His work in this ministry.” But Stephanie hopes that her contributions will continue to make positive impact for her organization. “I hope that my efforts will help the orphans that we are working with.”
