Tree's Gift Charity Headquarters Building, Elffire City.
1 PM, Monday, February 8th.
Sam and a few other people waited at the entrance of the building. The organization had been in operation for only one week, but everyone already knew the incredible identities of the few people waiting in the lobby.
The pair of receptionists behind the reception counter talked to each other in whispers.
"What the bosses are doing here in the lobby?"
"I don't know, but it seems like they are waiting for someone."
"No way! They are on the board of directors of the charity organization! Plus, they have so much experience in the area. Who would be important enough to demand their presence to welcome them in the building?"
The charity organization had few employees so far because it has only been open for one week, but the employees hired so far, all of them had experience working in other charity organizations. So the members of the board of directors, that Sam hired, were highly respected by everyone as they knew how passionate and experienced each one of them was about charity.
"Oh, it seems that the person they are waiting for arrived." One of them said when they saw everyone standing up as a silver-haired person slowly entered the building.
Theo examined everything around him as he entered the building. He concluded that the building needed some renovations, but he understood that the organization moved in only last week.
"Welcome to the Tree's Gift Charity, Theo." Sam said with a smiled.
"Thank you, Sam." Theo replied with a smile as he let go of his observations and looked at her.
"Let me introduce to you the potential member of directors of the charity organization." Sam said before pointing at a middle-aged woman.
"First of all, everyone, this is Theodore Gray. Three of you already talked with him through a video call last week, but he is the person who is funding the creation of this charity organization. It's from his desire to help others that we decided to open this charity to bring happiness to those without it."
"Theo, this is Joanne Saint. She has more than 25 years of experience working in several charity organizations."
Theo smiled before shaking her hand, "It's a pleasure to meet, Mrs. Saint. I'm looking forward to the work you'll be doing to help those in need."
Sam continued introducing the others just after their handshake, "This one is Yamaha Yoson. He is the oldest of them. But he is a deep well filled with experience and knowledge in charity."
Theo was surprised as he looked at the somewhat old man, although he was old, he looked much younger, and he was full of energy, "What a pleasure to meet someone so noble to dedicate your entire life to helping others, Yamaha-san. Thank you for accepting Sam's offer. I hope that with your help, we can bring a little more happiness and hope to those without any."
"Oh, no need for such compliments, Gray-san." Yamaha laughed, "I'm just doing what my heart tells me. And I love what I do for a living. But I agree with you, I do hope that we manage to bring hope to those without it."
The two men shook hands as they smiled at each other.
Sam continued introducing the four others, and Theo happily shook hands with everyone.
"Let's go to the meeting room then?" Sam asked after everyone was introduced.
They readily agreed and soon left the Lobby leaving the two receptionists gossiping about the identity of the handsome silver-haired man.
Soon, everyone was seated at a table inside one of the meeting rooms of the building.
"Okay, now Theo, you should first tell them which areas they should focus on." Sam suddenly said.
"Gladly." Theo smiled, "Everyone, I know that at first, we should take it easy as we gain more experience. So, our first charity goal is to provide funds to every orphanage in Bluecorn State."
Theo had a special connection with orphanages, and he couldn't bear knowing that children in these orphanages could be going hungry.
"I'm sure a few of you have experience in helping orphanages. Diapers, milk formulas, cribs, and others for babies. Food supplies that are enough for every child and teenager to eat at least 3 meals per day. School supplies like books, notepads, bags, and others. I want every child in these orphanages to live their childhood and teenage years happy and free from worries." Theo said with a happy and hopeful smile.
Sam smiled as she heard that, she already knew that Theo would say something like that. She saw how much he loved the children from the orphanage.
While the other six were happy that their first task would be so meaningful. They were more than happy to help those children. After all, each one of them loves helping others.
That's why Theo respected them so much.
"Boss, a few years back I worked in a charity organization that supplied a few orphanages. So, you don't have to worry, we will do our best to bring a normal and fufilling life for every child in these orphanages." Joanne commented.
"From what I know, no charity organization provides support to every orphanage in the state. So, we will be able to do our job without many problems." Yamaha commented.
"First of all, we should start researching the situation of every orphanage in the state and their location. From there..." Just like that the six experienced in charity started to discuss what they should do next.
Here and there, Theo and Sam offered their opinion, but it was mostly Yamaha and the others offering their insight and explaining things to Theo.
And Theo was happy to learn from them, he wanted to be involved and be part of the charity organization. He wasn't satisfied with only injecting money into the organization. Theo wanted to be right there with them when they started helping and funding the orphanages. He wanted to see the happy smiles of the children as they became much happier.
So, Theo had no qualms in asking them something if he had any doubt about the procedure they were talking about.
They talked for almost 2 hours and the creation of the charity organization was dutifully placed on track after such a productive meeting.
Sam, Yamaha, and the others promised Theo that by the end of February, the Tree's Gift Charity Organization would be ready to start its first task.
In other words, in this month, they would complete the Legal Structure and Registration and the registration of the charity organization with the appropriate government agencies, such as the Charity Commission or Department of Nonprofits. Plus, they would also finish the Governing Documents, the Policies and Procedures, and the Tax-Exemption Status for the charity organization.
The organization structure would be finalized and ready to start operations by the end of the
Theo was extremely happy when he heard that because this meant that the orphanages around the state would start receiving help starting next month!
Just like that, Theo had a happy and productive meeting at his charity organization.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, a group of four friends assumed the high post student council members of the Yukihime High School.
