Update

Hi everyone! So last year we sent out the post bellow on our fb profile: 

"Dear members, we need your help!

We are about to make a crucial and important change in the I Care project, a change we don't want to make without hearing from you first! A few years back we received a very generous donation from Kista Folkhögskola. The donation was made to help the nannies at the orphanage by giving them a bonus salary. These women come from very poor homes and do not always get paid for their work. 
We have now used up the money for them and have to make a difficult decision. Our philosophy has always been that 100% of the money we raise through our events are aimed to help the children and renovate the orphanage. We strongly believe that the wellbeing of the nannies affect the wellbeing of the kids and the maintenance of the orphanage. 
We want to make a change to be able to continue giving these women a bonus salary. This means that from now on 1/4 of the money we raise will go to the nannies and the rest to the kids and the orphanage. But before we make this change we want to hear from you! So let us know what you think. If we have no objections by the 7th of June we will make this change. Comment, email or send us a message if you have any objections. 

Thank you for all of your support
The I Care team"

As all of the members who responded were positive to this change, we are from now on giving a quarter of the donations to the mothers of the orphanage. We will be planning an upcoming event soon, and we would love to collect as much fundings as possible so that we can buy the things necessary at the orphanage, as well as give the mothers a well deserved bonus. 

Keep a look out for upcoming events and help us raise as much money as possible to meet all these needs. 

Best wishes, 
The I Care board
