The transaction is free for the contributor and Child Haven is only charged a 3% administration fee which is less than if we had our own accounts setup. Child Haven is notified immediately of all transactions and funds are sent directly to our bank account. If they wish, donors can send a quick note along with their contribution and designate funds to a specific area. INDIA VISA SITUATION UPDATE Indian visa offices are accepting Child Haven Intern applications for "entry" visas. You must apply early as there may be a wait. Tourist visas are available, but Interns must have an entry visa/X type visa. |
