YES. You definitely can. There are a lot of exemplary budget travellers among our affiliates.

Dear Sir,
Greetings from Gracious Paradise Charitable Foundation. is a very wonderful one for helping needy in the planet. In this connection I would like to ask a help or service from you that we are running an orphanage with 60 children both girls and boys between 6 to 13 years with running a small primary school from classes 1st to 5th. Don't misunderstand me to ask this, really it is very difficulty to us maintain this orphanage. Can you help or pay the way how to sustain this for longer periods and help us what facilities are available with you and what are the ways to utilize your services.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
