MBL 2024 Yearly Plan / Page 6 of 8

MBL volunteers from more than 20 countries all over the world joined MBL Team and participated at MBL projects and events. Every year MBL needs MORE VOLUNTEERS to lead and support our projects and events. If you would like to participate any MBL ongoing Projects mentioned above or even to become one of the Project Leaders, and to contact the team leader or please do not hesitate [e-mail]

MBL 2024 Yearly REPORT / Page 7 of 8

a, (1 week after) work report of the activities (based on 5 Ws)

b, (1 week after) news for MBL web/Facebook/Weibo/Twitter/WeChat (500 words with more photos/videos)

c, (1 week after) a statement of cost/gain (With all receipts and signed at least by two people) General Guidance for MBL Volunteers Working with Children/ Adoptive Families

Since this might be the first time for some of MBL volunteers to be with MBL adoptive families (a very special group), for Child Safety, Security, Privacy, and Sensitivity purposes, we introduce general guidance to MBL volunteers during events/activities involving children (including young people under the age of 18 years) and families below.

Please read the contents below carefully:

You SHOULD:

• Always be aware of the Fire Exit before events/activities start

• Maintain a Child Safe environment for children

• Treat children with respect, listen to and value their ideas and opinions and protect their wellbeing

• Be considerate in your actions through your use of language, presentation, manner and punctuality

• Respect the privacy of children and their families and only disclose information to people who have a need to know

You SHOULD NOT:

• Use prejudice, sensitive words such as "abandon", or any oppressive behavior or language with children

• Give advice or suggestions on adoptive families’ decision on searching for birth parents or their relationship with birth parents… If adoptive families ask for this, then you should forward their enquiries to MBL Head Office

• Share children & families' photos through your personal networks

• Discriminate on the basis of age, gender, race, culture, vulnerability or sexuality

• Initiate unnecessary physical contact with children or do things of a personal nature that children can do for themselves

MBL 2024 Yearly Plan / Page 8 of 8

• Enquiry about children/families' contact details and develop ‘special’ relationships with specific children/families for your personal gains or your own needs

• Have contact with children/families outside of the MBL’s programs

HEARTFELT THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT TO MBL –

SHARING CHINESE CULTURE FOR CHILDREN! XIEXIE NIN!
