Do I pay anything to be a volunteer?
No. There is no cost or risk for you at all, and you even
get a free t-shirt for your wonderful help!
What if I can’t sell all the scarves?
No problem. If you can’t sell them, just send the remaining
scarves to 910 University, Helena, MT, 59601. Depending on
your payment option, and how much you have collected, THN
will reimburse you for money already paid (including reimbursing
you for shipping).
How does the payment / transfer of money work?
There are three payment options,
depending on which is most convenient for you.
Who do people make checks out to?
Have people make the checks out to you. If they are hesitant
to do so, see the next FAQ. (You can even have people get
on the website and read this explanation for themselves)
Why can’t people make checks out to Tiny Hands
Nepal?
We are not an American non-profit organization, but rather,
a Nepali non-government organization. Therefore, we do not
have an account in America, but in Nepal. Since the mail system
here is very, very slow, and unreliable (checks can take months
to send, and months to clear), we would have to run a very
large debt for an extended period of time in order to accept
checks. The nature of our organization (charitable activities,
our spending policies, and the way our volunteer pashmina
program operates) is such that running a debt of this kind
is not an option. Instead, we have people make checks out
to our volunteers, who pay THN very quickly and safely on
our website.
