BTCV ANNUAL REPORT 503 E NIFONG #230 COLUMBIA, MO 65201-3717 2012

Annual Report 2012Be The Change Volunteers is a non-profit

non-governmental organization dedicated

to building, restoring, and enhancing

educational facilities and providing

educational resources for communities-

in-need in the remotest parts of the

world. Our mission is accomplished by

volunteers who dedicate their time,

talents, and funds to be the change we

want to see in our world by hand delivering

hope in the building of educational

opportunities and relationships!


IMPORTANT FAQsHOW DOES A BTCV PROJECT HAPPEN?

We find communities-in-need (anywhere in the world), or they find us, through

word of mouth, our website, presentations at events, media outlets, or other

strange-but-true connections. The community then applies for BTCV support by:

1. Demonstrating their Need - Describe why the educational facility is

needed and how it will benefit the community.

2. Documenting Community Involvement - Provide specifics regarding

how the community will be involved in the work and engaged in maintenance

of the facility, support of the staff, and development of the students.

3. Ensuring Sustainability - Outline a plan for keeping the educational facility

functioning for its intended purpose long term.

After the application is approved by the board, we then begin fundraising, build a

team of volunteers, and work out all the logistics over a 6-12 month period in

preparation for the trip. Then we GO to BE THE CHANGE!

HOW DOES BTCV FOLLOW-UP ON OUR SCHOOLS?

As part of our long term relationship with each community, BTCV receives annual

reports on each educational facility with respect to enrollment, curriculum,

staffing, and facilities. In addition to the statistics provided to BTCV, these reports

allow us to determine what the ongoing needs are for each community and

determine how they can be met. Our BTCV Kids are another important avenue

of follow-up as we receive regular reports from them regarding the community,

the educational facilities, and their own progress in education and life.

Please consider volunteering for one of our upcoming projects - it will change lives, including your own!

Self SustainabilityBTCV promises to use 100% of your donation for the school, students, and/or volunteers you designate it for. NO funds are used for administrative costs unless specifically directed for that use. Administrative costs are currently covered by a temporary funding source. In order to keep our 100% PROMISE, we need to create sustainable methods for covering administrative costs. In 2012, we started an endowment for this purpose. An extremely generous anonymous donor (AD) challenged Changers around the world to raise $100,000 for our Sustainability Fund by committing to match donations dollar for dollar during the campaign. And...YOU met AD’s challenge! Thanks to YOU and AD, we initiated the fund with over $200,000!! The annual returns from this fund will be used to cover ongoing expenses including printing, shipping, travel, and fundraising costs. We will keep building this fund so that we can continue our work long term, while keeping our promise to all our donors.

Join our team - give your time and talents to a “vacation with a purpose” and become a Changer!

BTCV provides support for tuition, boarding, school supplies, & uniforms for these amazing young scholars



BTCV KidsOur “BTCV Kids” program helps make dreams come true for students that attend BTCV Schools around the world. This program funds educational needs for dedicated students so that they can pursue their dreams to the highest academic levels possible. BTCV Kids must maintain high attendance and passing marks in all classes, and send progress reports to BTCV each term. They must also Be The Change in their communities by serving in the field of their chosen training for at least 3 years after completing their education. We are currently funding a total of 21 young scholars, 10 girls and 11 boys, at an average cost of $750 per student per year. Please consider donating to the BTCV Kids fund to help these students succeed!

Be the change you want to see in the world

BTCV Giants“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”

This quote from Sir Isaac Newton certainly applies to BTCV! This organization has been so blessed to be able to change the lives of so many people through the power of education! Our work has only been possible through the GENEROUS and AMAZING support of so many people in so many different ways. We want to recognize and sincerely thank “our giants” who have made our success possible – THANK YOU for letting us see, and reach, further than we could ever dream!

BTCV Giants Margaret Bisognot – Mother of Dominique (BTCV co-founder and director), Mary-Lourdes (BTCV Cambodia), and Manny Bisogno (BTCV Cambodia and Nepal) who have all contributed so significantly to BTCV, she obviously instilled in her amazing children the passion for service and love for the poor, downtrodden, and oppressed. BTCV School 002, The Floating Learning Center in Cambodia, is dedicated to her life and memory. (tin memoriam)

Grace Anderson – Mother of BTCV co-founder and director Brian Anderson, raised her son to live a life of servant leadership which he has excelled at for more than 20 years. BTCV would not be here without Brian, and so, would not be here without Grace. In addition, Grace is a core donor, supporter, and dear friend to all of us at BTCV.

Jane Gordon Cook – Mother of BTCV co-founder and director Jimi Cook, Jane has been a major donor and supporter of BTCV since our inception – she has given so generously to our mission and has sponsored several of our volunteers to go and serve with us. She is also our best cheerleader and encourager and keeps us all going strong with her love and support.

Martin Petrus – Martin is our “man on the front lines” – this amazing man worked with us to build BTCV School 004, Brikiti Elementary School in PNG, and immediately established the first BTCV affiliate (PNG), has already started the first locally-generated BTCV School (007 Kulangit Elementary), and has plans for many more BTCV schools throughout all of Papua New Guinea!

Glenn & Doug Willett – BTCV volunteers extraordinaire! This Father-Son team participated on BTCV Rwanda, PNG, and Nepal builds, are already signed up for Sri Lanka, and plan on many many more. Glenn (at 80+ years old) and Doug are the hardest working, most outgoing, most loved (by us, their teammates, the communities, and especially the kids) volunteers ever – they are both just beautiful people who breathe BTCV!
