OPSE FORA EHILD'S SMILE It is essential that the children. often virtims of violence and conflitts. find in the Charity a model of peace, friendship, harmony and stability. While wanting to provide the poorest wwth high quality schoolin& we don't want elitism for a few. To the volunteers In their voluntary work, people don't like to find constraints. conflicts and competition,. they want to find a place of friendship and initiative. This harmonious atmosphere is the strength of the Charity as it allows everyone to give their best. The Charit¢s strurture must be flexible and adaptable. There are leaders and unifiers (not bosses) that provide everyone freedom to act. Where disputes or conflicts arise. everyone must prioritise unity and the interests of the Charity above imposing their own ideas. To the sponsors The accounts must be transparent and available at 811 times to any sponsor who wishes to consult them. The management is run with complete respert for the money entrusted to the Charity as well as ensuring its optimum utilisation fof the benefit of the children. While the Charity communicates facts, it avoids producing material that is unnecessarily shocking or making its audience feel guilty- The linancial resources come predominantly from private donations Isponsorships. aid from NGOS or businessesl supplemented by public financing to allow new investments. The Charity respects the donors, wishes by fulfilling any commitments and through strict management of Charity. The Charity keeps complete mastery and control of financing.
