Lending a Hand: Volunteers in Action

TThe “Lending a Hand” program offers life-enriching volunteer opportunities for inspired young adults, university students, and global citizens who are eager to make a meaningful impact. Sponsored and organized by the Mary K. Yap Foundation, this program welcomes compassionate individuals to serve orphanage communities in Myanmar through short-term assignments lasting three to six months. Volunteers play a vital role in supporting various areas such as event coordination, donor relations, administrative tasks, and virtual assistance.

Participants will work closely with the Foundation’s management team and Orphanage Ambassadors to implement innovative development programs. Volunteer engagements range from spending weekends at registered orphanages and teaching English to participating in the Teddy Bears for Hugs campaign and performing cultural shows at charity concerts. Additional opportunities include sponsoring a child with as little as a dollar a day or serving as an Orphan Ambassador to promote sustainability efforts. Volunteers are assigned to specific orphanages based on project needs and timelines, with additional opportunities to participate in field activities focused on education and health development for underserved youth.

#The mission of the Mary K. Yap Foundation is to strengthen and build orphanage communities by equipping them with the resources they need to care for vulnerable children. We are proud to partner with individuals who demonstrate a strong sense of social responsibility and are committed to empowering the next generation. Through their involvement, volunteers gain pride and purpose by helping children who depend on these centers for daily support. Every moment dedicated by our volunteers contributes to improving the lives of orphaned children across Myanmar.

At the conclusion of their service, volunteers will be presented with a special award of appreciation from the Mary K. Yap Foundation. Select individuals will also be honored at one of our signature fundraising dinners as recipients of the Foundation’s Global Citizen Award, recognizing their heartfelt dedication and generous efforts. If you’re ready to take part in this meaningful journey, we invite you to Sign Up and express your interest today.

Orphanage Ambassadors Program

Corporate News Feature: The Purpose and Impact of the Orphanage Ambassador Program

#In January 2023, the Mary K. Yap Foundation proudly launched its Orphanage Ambassador Program as part of a strategic effort to expand the Foundation’s global mission—advancing the well-being of orphaned children worldwide. The program was designed to empower passionate individuals with a platform to serve as voices for orphans and become active participants in their development. At its core, the initiative reflects the Foundation’s belief that everyone can make a difference by contributing time, compassion, and care. Often, society underestimates the potential of orphaned children, but through meaningful engagement, we see how supportive interactions can inspire resilience, growth, and transformation.

Orphanage Ambassadors carry a vital role in championing the Foundation’s mission. They serve not only as representatives but also as mentors and advocates who directly engage with orphaned children in their local communities and abroad. By visiting orphanages, offering encouragement, and supporting day-to-day needs, these ambassadors foster environments where orphaned youth are treated with the same love and attention as children raised in traditional family settings. Their presence is a powerful reminder that these children are not forgotten—they are valued, cared for, and capable of thriving when given proper support.

#The program requires each ambassador to participate in at least two Foundation-sponsored charity events per year, whenever and wherever possible. But more than meeting this requirement, ambassadors are deeply involved in forming lasting bonds with both the children and the communities they serve. Whether giving empowerment talks, leading fun and educational activities, or simply offering a listening ear, they help instill confidence and hope in children who may otherwise feel alone. Their involvement strengthens the bridge between the Foundation and the orphanage communities, reinforcing trust and continuity in the children’s lives.

Today, the Orphanage Ambassador Program has grown to include 11 dedicated ambassadors from 8 different countries—each bringing unique perspectives and energy to our mission. Their collective efforts reflect the spirit of global unity in supporting orphaned children and ensuring they are seen, heard, and uplifted. The Mary K. Yap Foundation remains committed to growing this program and expanding its reach, knowing that every ambassador contributes to a brighter, more compassionate future for children who need it most. Through their work, the Foundation continues to advance its vision: that every orphan, regardless of their origin or circumstance, deserves a chance to live, dream, and succeed.
