General explanation attachment FORM 990,PART111,LINE 4A-PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTWE WITNESSED ANOTHER INCREDIBLE YEAR IN 2018. AS IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR, WE DID NOT HOLD ANY MAJOR FUNDRAISING EVENTS EXCEPT FOR THE GLOBAL BISTRO AND THE WALKATHON, IN WHICH BOTH EVENTS WERE VERY WELL ATTENDED. WE WERE ABLE TO BUILD MOMENTUM THROUGH MONTHLY EVENTS AND AN EFFECTIVE ONLINE CAMPAIGN DURING RAMADAN. WE CONTINUED PROVIDING SERVICES IN 11 COUNTRIES, AND CROSSED THE MARK TO NOW SUPPORT 1000+ ORPHANS. OUR INCOME GREW, AS DID OUR DONOR AND VOLUNTEER BASE. OUR STAFF REMAINS SMALL BUT PRODUCTIVE: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (FULL TIME), OPERATION LEAD (PART TIME) AND WEB DEVELOPER (PART TIME). THESE THREE ROLES ARE CRITICAL IN MANAGING GIVELIGHTS GROWTH, OPERATIONS, MULTIPLE PROJECTS/EVENTS, BOOKKEEPING, AND WEBSITE MANAGEMENT. 2018 ACCOMPLISHMENTS BY COUNTRY:WE CURRENTLY HAVE 35 CHILDREN IN OUR ACEH HOME. GIVELIGHTS FOCUS IS TO FOSTER LEARNING AND GROWING ACADEMICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY, BUT ALSO TO INSTILL A FEELING OF LOVE, SECURITY AND A SENSE OF BELONGING FOR ALL OUR ORPHANS. WE NURTURE THE CHILDRENS PASSIONS AND TALENTS THROUGH ENCOURAGEMENT AND PARTICIPATION. THE CHILDREN HAVE IMMENSE TALENTS IN MANY DIFFERENT FIELDS, INCLUDING MUSIC, THE ARTS, MATH, SPORTS, ORAL NARRATIVES. MANY HAVE PARTICIPATED AND WON AWARDS IN SCHOOL AND CITY-WIDE COMPETITIONS, IN DIVERSE AREAS INCLUDING MATH OLYMPICS, STORYTELLING AND SPORTS. THEIR COMPETITIVE SPIRIT MOTIVATES THE OTHER CHILDREN IN THE HOME AS WELL. WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUR ENGLISH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM. SINCE 2017, WE HAVE HAD MANY DEPENDABLE TUTORS WHO TEACH THE CHILDREN ENGLISH VIA SKYPE AND ZOOM. ONE MORE OF OUR OLDEST GIRLS, NIKA STARTED A NEW CHAPTER IN HER LIFE, SHE RECENTLY MARRIED AND SHE SHARED THIS JOYOUS OCCASION WITH ALL HER YOUNGER SIBLINGS (THE CHILDREN AT THE ORPHANAGE). IT WAS MORE LIKE A FAMILY REUNION WITH ALL THE CHILDREN COMING TOGETHER AND CELEBRATING THE WEDDING. NIKA NOW LIVES IN HER OWN HOME WITH HER HUSBAND, AND SHE STAYS IN TOUCH WITH THE HOME SHE WAS RAISED IN (THE ORPHANAGE). WE ALWAYS EMPHASIZE, ENCOURAGE AND INSPIRE THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION IN SECURING A BRIGHT FUTURE. OUR CHILDREN ARE MOTIVATED TO LEARN AND MAKE SOMETHING GREAT OUT OF THEIR LIVES BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN FIRST HAND WHAT SUCCESS TRULY MEANS. NOT ONLY ARE WE THERE WITH THEM EVER STEP OF THE WAY, BUT SINCE OUR OLDER KIDS HAVE GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE, THE YOUNGER WITNESS HOW FAR THEY CAN GO AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THE AMBITION AND WILLINGNESS TO WORK HARD. WE ARE BLESSED THAT NONE OF OUR CHILDREN HAVE HAD TO STOP EDUCATION DUE TO A LACK OF FUND. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY ALL KNOW THAT THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO GO FAR IN LIFE FROM EXAMPLES SET BY OUR OLDER CHILDREN. 2. PAKISTANA. WE RECEIVED A DONATED LAND NEAR LAHORE, PAKISTAN IN OCTOBER 2018. THE LAND IS 40,000 SQUARE FEET AND IN A NICE, SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH WELL-DEVELOPED INFRASTRUCTURE. WE HAVE ALSO FORMED A MANAGEMENT TEAM CONSISTING OF PRO BONO EXPERTS TO HELP US WORK WITH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT. OUR GOAL IS TO BREAK GROUND IN 2020.B. WE ARE CONTINUING OUR PROJECT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITIZEN FOUNDATION (TCF) TO PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS TO 200 ORPHANS. TCF IS THE LARGEST EDUCATIONAL NON-PROFIT IN PAKISTAN, RUNNING CLOSE TO 1500 SCHOOLS, PROVIDING QUALITY EDUCATION TO 220,000 STUDENTS (50% OF WHICH ARE GIRLS) IN THE MOST UNDERPRIVILEGED AREAS OF THE COUNTRY. IN 2018, WE PROVIDED FULL SCHOLARSHIPS TO 200 ORPHANS ATTENDING TCF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS. OUR GOAL IS TO GROW THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WE ARE SUPPORTING TO 500 WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS. 3. BANGLADESHA. OUR HOME WITH 50 GIRLS IS A HAPPY SPACE JUST LIKE ALL OUR OTHER HOMES. ELEVEN OF OUR GIRLS HAVE GONE TO THE CAPITAL, DHAKA, TO TAKE A NATIONAL TEST TO PASS 5TH GRADE; SEVEN RECEIVED A+S AND FIVE RECEIVED AS. WE CONTINUE TO NURTURE THEIR DREAMS OF BECOMING DOCTORS, TEACHERS, LAWYERS, AND EVEN A PILOT. IT HAS BEEN AMAZING TO SEE THE TRANSFORMATION OF THESE GIRLS FROM HAVING A SENSE OF CONFUSION AND DEGRADATION TO DEVELOPING THE STRENGTH AND VISION TO DREAM BIG AND BE BIG IN THIS WORLD. B. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO SUPPORT ANOTHER ORPHANAGE CALLED DARUSSUNAT BY SPONSORING THEIR MEALS AND FINANCING SPECIAL PROJECTS, INCLUDING BUILDING A DINING ROOM, PROVIDING THE CHILDREN WITH NEW BLANKETS, SHOES AND CLOTHES. PRIOR TO GIVELIGHTS ASSISTANCE, THESE CHILDREN WERE EATING ONLY TWO MEALS PER DAY. AS IN PRIOR YEARS, AT THE END OF THE HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN IN 2018, WE NOURISHED THEM WITH A SPECIAL MEAL, INCLUDING THEIR FAVORITE FRUITS AND DRINKS TO BREAK THEIR FASTS WITH. 4. SRI LANKAOUR BOYS IN OUR SRI LANKA HOME ARE GROWING UP, THE OLDEST IS 16 YEARS OLD. WE CONTINUALLY HAVE VOLUNTEERS VISITING THE HOME FOR ONE-DAY TRIPS, AND THE BOYS ARE ALWAYS VERY HAPPY WHEN PEOPLE VISIT THEM. THE BOYS KEEP ACTIVE ON A DAILY BASIS, THEY LOVE TO PLAY CRICKET, BADMINTON AND BOARD GAMES. THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PLAYROOM (DESIGNED BY A LOCAL DESIGNER, PRO BONO) IN WHICH THEY CAN PLAY BOARD GAMES, READ BOOKS AND JUST HANG OUT. THE KIDS HAVE RECEIVED A NEW BUS AS TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM SCHOOL. THIS SAVED US A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY AS WE NO LONGER HAVE TO RENT A BUS EVERY DAY. IT IS ALSO MUCH MORE CONVENIENT AND DEPENDABLE WHEN TAKING THE KIDS ON A FIELD TRIP TO THE BEACH OR THE PARK. 6. SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA/BALTIMORE, UNITED STATESWE LAUNCHED A NEW PROJECT TARGETING FOSTER CARE CHILDREN IN GILROY AND BALTIMORE. WE DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN 100 WINTER JACKETS, WHICH WERE WARMLY RECEIVED BY BOTH CITIES. WE PLAN TO CONTINUE AND GROW THIS PROJECT EVERY YEAR. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS, MENTORSHIPS, AND SOCIAL GATHERINGS/OUTINGS FOR CHILDREN LIVING WITH THEIR SINGLE MOTHERS IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. WE ENSURE THAT ALL OF THEM GET THE HELP THEY NEED IN HOMEWORK AND SCHOOL PROJECTS. MOST OF THE CHILDREN ARE NOW IN GOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND HAVE ACCESS TO FREE TUTORING AFTER SCHOOL. WE ALSO PROVIDE THEM WITH NEW CLOTHES, BOOKS, TOYS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, ESPECIALLY DURING OUR HOLIDAYS. 7. CAMBODIAOUR HOME IN CAMBODIA HAS A TOTAL OF 65 CHILDREN WHO ARE EAGER TO EXPLORE AND LEARN. THE HOME HAS A BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE SINCE IT IS LOCATED ON A RUBBER PLANTATION. IT IS SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL TREES AND GREENERY AS FAR AS THE HORIZON, GIVING IT THAT ZEN LOOK AND FEELING. THE CHILDREN ATTEND PUBLIC SCHOOL, WHICH IS CONVENIENTLY LOCATED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HOME. BECAUSE OF THE OPEN AND LARGE SPACE, THE CHILDREN ENJOY PLAYING SOCCER, HIDE & GO SEEK, OTHER CREATIVE GAMES, AND SOMETIMES THEY JUST SIT TO OBSERVE THE NATURE AROUND THEM. WHEN WE STARTED THE HOME A FEW YEARS AGO, THE CHILDREN WERE TIMID, INSECURE AND UNEASY. THEY WERE NOT CONFIDENT TO EVEN TALK ABOUT THEMSELVES. TODAY, THEY HAVE FLOURISHED, THEY HAVE SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-WORTH AND FEEL THAT THEY HAVE A PLACE IN THIS WORLD. WHEN WE FIRST ASKED ABOUT THEIR DREAMS, THEY USED TO HAVE A SAD LOOK, NOW THEY GLEAMINGLY EXPRESS THEIR BIG DREAMS OF BECOMING DOCTORS, ENGINEERS, LAWYERS, AND SCHOLARS. 8. MOROCCOIN JULY 2018, WE OPENED OUR HOME IN MOROCCO, WHICH IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ONE WE HAVE BUILT THUS FAR. KING MOHAMMED IV OF MOROCCO PERSONALLY SENT HIS GOVERNOR AND A PERSONAL LETTER OF COMMENDATION FOR OUR CELEBRATION DURING THE OPENING CEREMONY. THE MAYOR SPONSORED THE GRAND RECEPTION BOTH AT OUR HOME AS WELL AS AT HIS RESIDENCE. BOTH EVENTS WERE HIGHLY TELEVISED BY THE MEDIA WITH WELL OVER 200 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. IN ALL, WE HAVE 26 GIRLS, RANGING FROM SIX TO FOURTEEN YEARS OF AGE, WHO ATTEND PUBLIC SCHOOLS RUN BY THE GOVERNMENT. OUR GOAL IS TO SUPPORT AND NURTURE THEM UNTIL THEY FINISH COLLEGE AND BECOME CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS TO THEIR COMMUNITY. 9. TURKEYFOLLOWING THE SUCCESS OF OUR WINTER CAMPAIGN, WE CONTINUED TO DISTRIBUTE JACKETS TO 400 ORPHANS AND SPONSORED SPECIAL MEALS IN THE HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN FOR 400 MORE. WE CONTINUED TO SPONSOR 136 ORPHANS FOR MANY AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES AT HANAN CENTER IN FATIH DISTRICT AND ANOTHER CENTER IN THE ASIAN DISTRICT. FORTUNATELY, THESE CHILDREN HAVE THEIR MOTHERS WHO ARE TAKING THE BEST CARE OF THEM SO WE DO NOT NEED TO BUILD A HOME. HOWEVER, THESE WOMEN DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THEIR CHILDRENS EDUCATION. OUR GOAL IS TO BE THEIR FINANCIAL STRENGTH IN HELPING THEM ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS OF HAVING THEIR CHILDREN GET A DECENT EDUCATION. 10. NEPAL WE CONTINUED OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH AMA FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT 10 CHILDREN, RANGING FROM AGES SIX TO ELEVEN YEARS, IN KATHMANDU WHO WERE VICTIMS OF THE EARTHQUAKE IN NEPAL. WE RECEIVED THEIR BIOGRAPHIES ALONG WITH PICTURES AND SOME ARTWORK THAT THEY HAD CREATED. DESPITE THE HARDSHIP OF LOSING THEIR PARENTS, THEY HAVE NOW FOUND A NEW HOME TO BE LOVED AND TAKEN CARED OF IN ALL ASPECTS. A GIVELIGHT VOLUNTEER PAID THEM A VISIT LAST SUMMER, AND THE KIDS WERE THRILLED TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM AND ENJOY THE DELICIOUS TREATS THAT HE BROUGHT FOR THEM. 11. JORDANWE SPONSORED 50 CHILDREN W
