CEO/Executive Director Statement:

With so many different charitable organizations out there, it is sometimes difficult to know which ones to are worthy of your support. Every once in a while there is one that stands out above the rest. Serving Others Worldwide is one such organization and very unique in that all of its board, officers, staff and workers donate their time, talents and resources and do not take any payment for their work. Serving Others Worldwide is thus able to eliminate major overhead costs and pass on 100% of your hard earned donations to the people who need them most!

September 22, 2009
 
Seattle, Washington  22, September, 2009 – Twelve volunteer’s from humanitarian aid organization Serving Others Worldwide returned to Seattle after helping over 700 orphans in Southwest Russia.  These volunteer’s and their supporters represent the selfless humanitarian focus of many Northwest Companies and their employees including Microsoft, Boeing, Bank of America, Nationwide Insurance, Holiday Inn, Starbucks, Real Networks, Expedia.com, SmartBuilt Homes and many others. 
 
The focus of their trip was to visit the orphans and orphanages being sponsored and assist in developing new programs for older orphan graduates leaving the orphanages seeking higher education and to become productive members of our world society. Volunteers established child sponsorships, supplied educational materials and clothing, and provided programs for children to grow mentally, physically, and spiritually.
