Ronald Carter, the President and CEO of Children Incorporated, joins Charity Talks and discusses CI's mission to help impoverished children in the United States and 22 countries around the world.  CI does this in two key ways: through child sponsorship and special funds.  Sponsorship ensures that children in poverty get the basic necessities, such as food, clothing and school supplies.  Special funds take one-time donations and use them to support feeding programs, skill training programs and housing improvements, among many needs that CI addresses.  Combined, these impactful programs are helping thousands of children each year.  (0:25) Website:  https://childrenincorporated.org/

Kind Traveler is the world’s first socially conscious ‘Give + Get’ hotel booking platform that empowers travelers to benefit communities, the environment, and animals.

Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley and Sara Bella will interview Shelley Callahan of Children Incorporated. Twenty years ago, Dr. Richard Carlson's best-selling book Don't Sweat the Small Stuff forged a legacy that is carried on by Dr. Carlson's widow, Kristine, selling 25 million copies and magnifying the global movement towards mindfulness and self-care. It was the book's mention of Children Incorporated as the Carlsons' preferred charity that was, in the words of current Director of Development Shelley Callahan, “one of the most meaningful things to happen to our organization.” This year, in conjunction with the book's 20th anniversary re-publication, Kristine Carlson and Children's Incorporated I have teamed up to find 2000 new donors, with a generous donation from the Richard Carlson Memorial Foundation supporting matching funds. Since sponsorships are the lifeblood of Children Incorporated's work, the infusion of so many new benefactors is likely to have a profound and lasting impact. This latest effort is just one of many in support of Children Incorporated's global mission to confront childhood poverty through direct intervention:  getting the donated money, goods, and services directly to the children and families who need them most.  Reaching over 250,000 children in 23 countries over the last few decades, Children Incorporated currently supports over 300 programs and projects, from building schools in Bolivia, to clean water initiatives in India, to inner-city projects in Detroit and Washington DC, to “backpack feeding” Appalachian kids who might not otherwise have anything to eat on the weekends.   

  Paying it Forward to Children Around the World!Children truly are our future. And when we can help children all over the world, you just have to believe, the world will be a much better place. That's what Ron Carter is doing with his small team at Children Incorporated. And that's the conversation we sharing today. Meet our Feature GuestAt a time when people often feel helpless in a world where they want to make a difference, Children Incorporated is now teaming up with an old friend to launch a new effort intended to bring thousands of new donors into the fold – to empower people to do something that actually changes the world for the better. Twenty years ago, Dr. Richard Carlson’s best-selling book Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff forged a legacy that is carried on by Dr. Carlson’s widow, Kristine, selling 25 million copies and magnifying the global movement towards mindfulness and self-care.

For over 50 years, Children Incorporated has been a pioneer in the field of international charity, connecting individual donors to specific children in need both in the United States and around the world. The story of Children Incorporated, from humble beginnings of a determined American traveler connecting her wealthy friends with Guatamalan orphans, to one of the most respected and productive charities around, is one that is worthy of attention and discussion, and a way of bringing power and possibility to life in a too-often uncertain and disheartening world.

When you think about it, charity can be a tough business. As Larissa MacFarquhar writes in her best seller Strangers Drowning: Grappling with Impossible Idealism, “The life of a zealous do-gooder is a kind of human sublime…confronting it, you see its formidable nobility, and at the same time, you sense uncomfortably that you would not survive it for long.” That sublime ambition is what Children Incorporated tries to bring to its donors and supporters – a sense of connecting someone who can give with someone who so desperately needs help. Since 1964, Children Incorporated has extended its reach to over 250,000 children, spread across 23 countries and through over 300 programs andoutreach projects. Operating without religious or political affiliation, and with a lean staff of 16 located at headquarters in Virginia, sponsorship donations and volunteer support are the lifeblood of the organization. For people like Shelley Callahan, Director of Development for Children Incorporated, the everyday work of global charity relief is less of a superhuman exercise in sublime divinity than it is simply magnifying the many generous actions of donors, supporters, and others who can only give “a little.” “Working for Children Incorporated has made me a much more considerate and patient person,” Callahan observes, “but it’s also made me realize that the most important thing anyone can do is give back. You can do something small, and make a huge difference.” Don't Sweat the Small Stuff Since it was founded by Jeanne Clarke Wood in 1964, Children Incorporated has engaged in direct sponsorship of specific children. After witnessing poverty on a trip to Guatemala, Wood began writing letters to friends and colleagues asking for donations that would specifically match them with one of the 95 children she met on her travels. Since then, all of the organization’s work has revolved around connecting donors to individual children. As the organization reaches these children all around the world, they also find ways to engage in other local projects and relief efforts that help improve the children’s lives from the outside as well. Direct sponsorship is behind one of Children Incorporated’s current high-profile projects, inspired by the 20th anniversary of the self-help best-seller Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff by Richard Carlson. The book proved a boom for Children Incorporated in 1997 when Carlson wrote about giving to charity, “There are many find agencies to choose from, but my personal favorite is Children Incorporated…the experience has brought tremendous joy and satisfaction to my family.” “Dr. Carlson’s mention was one of the most meaningful things to ever happen to our organization,” says Callahan. “Thousands of impoverished children were helped as a result.” Now, Carlson’s widow Kristine is continuing that legacy, partnering with Children Incorporated to generate 2000 new sponsorships, with the Richard Carlson Memorial Foundation pledging $5000 in matching donations. For Callahan, working on behalf of Children Incorporated involves travel to points near (Appalachia, the inner city, and the reservation) and far (the rainforests of Bolivia and Southeast Asia). Callahan not only manages the organization’s communications, but is the social correspondent for the web series “On the Road,” where she is able to highlight individual and community success stories and bring evidence of the effectiveness of donor support into the digital spotlight. Her job also means celebrating the recent accomplishments of Children Incorporated’s successful community based projects, such as the recent effort to add seven classrooms to a school in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. “It’s easy to see the impact of these projects on the lives of individuals,” explains Callahan, “but we also see how the entire community benefits.” The new classrooms, for example, meant that there could be adult literacy classes offered at night for the first time, and members of the community have pooled their resources to buy AC units for the new buildings. “We can claim that our reach is more than twice as much as the individual children we directly sponsor, because it always includes siblings, family members, neighbors, and others who benefit.” The same goes for another project in Bolivia, Villa Emelia, a home for women who are transitioning from living on the streets. “It’s a place to stay, with their children, as well as a factory that makes garments and school uniforms to give them new job skills and work towards sustainable living situations.” The Catholic nuns who have partnered with Children Incorporated in the region have also developed a program where they purchase property that the women can pay the mortgage on as they earn. “They had eight plots of land that were ready to go, and we were able to step in with the funding needed to actually build new homes.” Callahan explains that each new project must be carefully planned and vetted before donors are approached for support. “We always have a general idea about what we can do, but we need to assess everything before we fundraise, and then look to our existing donor base and ask them is this what they would want to support?” Looking towards visits to Sri Lanka and India this summer, Callahan says that recent efforts are geared towards broader environmental issues like clean water solutions, as well as the more traditional efforts of providing shelter, clothing, and basics for sponsored individual children.

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Kristine Carlson and Ron Carter. When Dr. Carlson first published those words two decades ago, he probably had no idea the impact it would have on the fate of children, families, and communities all around the globe.  One of the most impactful and visionary self-help books of the last generation – with over 25 million copies sold and considered a key text in the global movement towards mindfulness and self-care – Carlson's shout-out to Children Incorporated resulted in a flood of sponsors that organization president Ron Carter calls “one of the most meaningful things to ever happen to our organization.” Dr. Carlson's legacy is continued by his widow, Kristine Carlson, herself a best-selling author, TED Talk veteran, and internationally acclaimed speaker.  To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Don't Sweat  the Small Stuff, Carlson has teamed up with Children Incorporated to generate 2000 new sponsors in conjunction with the book's reissue. With programs in over 23 countries (including nearly 150 in the United States), Children Incorporated connects individual donors with the needs of specific children who are in desperate need – of food, shelter, clothing, school supplies, and most of all, human generosity.  Since being founded by Jeanne Clarke Wood in 1964, the Richmond, VA-based organization has directly impacted the lives of over 250,000 children.

One chapter in Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff called: Adopt a Child through the Mail where Richard mentioned his favorite organization: Children Incorporated. This one mention resulted in thousands of sponsorships and donations over the years. It is with great pleasure that Kris interviews the President of Children Incorporated, Ron Carter, as he shares what Children Incorporated, does for the kids who are sponsored by monthly donations. The beauty of this program is the pen-pal communication that you receive from the child you sponsor. Ron Carter has served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Children Incorporated since April of 2012. Ron started working for Children Incorporated in February of 2003, and prior to his appointment as President of the organization, he held two other positions there: Assistant Director of US Programs and Director of the Inner City Division. All kids deserve to have a coat in winter, shoes, and appropriate clothes to wear to school and healthy food to eat.  We are running a “2000 challenge” to celebrate 20 years of Don’t Sweat! Please help us sponsor 2000 kids this year for just $28/month in celebrating 20 years of Don’t Sweat wisdom. The Richard Carlson Memorial fund will match the first $5K in sponsorship donations.  You can call Children, Incorporated at 1(800)538-5381 and visit https://childrenincorporated.org/dont-sweat-small-stuff/ to find out more about this wonderful program that assists children monthly by helping impoverished families fulfill their child’s basic needs of food, clothing, and medical expenses.
