Welcome to GoBeDo GIVES!
GoBeDo GIVES is the non-profit affiliate of The Orphan Campaign and Club GoBeDo. Your tax-deductible donations will be applied towards the purchase of shoes for orphans and at-risk children around the world. For every $30 donated here, GoBeDo GIVES will purchase one pair of shoes and give them to our partners at Shoes for Orphan Souls. The shoes will be faithfully delivered to children all over the world on your behalf.
Of course anyone can donate here, but in keeping with our mission statement of inspiring and facilitating selflessness, service and compassion in our children, we’d love for your kids to be involved in this process. Besides the Shoe Drives, Shoe Parades and Club GoBeDo Birthday Club, we’re asking your kids to be directly involved in the donation of funds for the purchase of a pair of shoes. Remember, our goal is 100,000 kids giving 100,000 pairs of shoes to kids in need.
The Mission:
100,000 kids giving 100,000 pairs of shoes to kids in need.
The Goal:
Inspiring and facilitating selflessness, service and compassion in our children
The Answer:
Giving your kids an opportunity to earn the $30 donation over the course of six, action-packed, character building weeks by doing chores! That’s right -good old-fashioned chores! Create your own list or download our “Get up and be a GoBeDo Kid List of Chores!” Our recommended payment schedule for this time honored tradition called an allowance is $5 per week for 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks, click on the blue box to the right and your child will have the joy and honor of donating his/her own $30 for the purchase of a pair of shoes.
The Lessons Learned:
1. Joy and Satisfaction of a job well done
2. Responsibility and Diligence within the family
3. Selflessness and Care for others
4. Realization that putting others needs ahead of our own is good and right.
Added Bonus:
Starting the process of training your precious child to be a joyful giver and contributing member of your family! After six weeks? Keep up the chores and start a savings account-always giving a little bit to charity.
Acts 20:35 I have shown you in all things that by working hard in this way we must help the weak, remembering the words that the Lord Jesus himself said, ‘There is more happiness in giving than in receiving. TEV
