What
is
Regent Education Fund? |
|
The
founders of Regent Group had first hand experience in poverty
stricken areas where children, because of traditional influence,
yearn for an opportunity to sit in a classroom, but their
parents simply can't afford it, however they themselves want
so much that their children could join in a classroom.
As soon as Regent Group turned a profit, Regent Education
Fund, in the beginning relied soly on contribution from Regent
Group and Regent Staff, was born. |
|
| Whom
does REF help? |
|
Regent Education Fund
is not a general purpose charity. In fact, it helps only those
children who DESIRE to go to school. Too often we see kids
are forced to go to school, for free. We can't afford that,
and we want our, and our donators' hard earned money to go
to children who merit our help. Because we believe these children
will become the leaders in the future. |
|
| What
kind of help do the children receive? |
|
Annual
tuition and books cost about $60 US. Regent Education Fund
sponsor individual child, at the same time, contribute to
general purpose school expenses, such as salaries to teachers
and administrators of the schools, toys, teaching aids, library
books and other school related expenses. |
|
| How
do I sign up? |
|
You may contact Regent
Offices in either China or in
US in person, or through this
website, on your phone,
fax, or by
mail. We will get back to you promptly. |
|
| What does it cost? |
|
$60 US or 500 Yuan
in Chinese will support one child's whole year's tuition and
books.
If you contribute $120, you can specify whether you want sponsor
2 children for a year, or one child for 2 years, or one child
and rest goes to fund pool for other school purposes. |
|
| How
does Regent Education Fund use the money I send for the child? |
|
There are two ways
your donations are put to work:
1. Spent on the child's tuition and books.
2. Combined to build Regent Schools in poorly developed rural
areas that meet the needs of each sponsored child as well
as other local children in their pursuit of education.
Regent staff and all REF related expenses are paid by Regent
Corporate Group. All your contribution
will be used for children's education endeavor. |
|
| How
do I contact the child I sponsor? |
|
As a sponsor, you
receive a packet containing all
of the details you'll need about how and where to send
your letters. After that, it's just like writing to anyone
you care about. |
|
| May
I send gifts to the child? |
|
Yes, you may! Small,
amusing flat items such as pictures and books which fit inside
letters are always welcome. If you wish to be more generous,
details are available on how
to help your child with special needs or to celebrate an occasion. |
|
| May
I visit the child, or invite the child to visit me? |
|
If you are financially
able, your visit to your sponsored child will be welcome and
we will be happy to help you to pre-arrange it. In fact, Regent's
very popular China Tour will bring you not only to China,
but also to visit the child you sponsor. He/she will be thrilled
to actually meet you. On the other hand, it is difficult to
arrange the child to visit you because of the US visa is hard
to obtain. |
|
| How
long does the sponsorship last? |
|
For as long as you
wish. And you can sponsor as many children as your wish. |
