Policy and Regulation
1. "The Torchbearer" is an unregistered trademark name of the team. Neither are we affiliated with any institution using the same name, nor our projects connected to their purpose and activities.
2. We accept members regardless of their background, religion, ethnicity, race, or gender; however, please be reminded that this is a Christian site, and we will incorporate our faith in our works, topics, and activities. Moreover, one who desires to be a core member must be a Christian who accepts the team's statement of faith. A core member is a part of the team or the main council who is given the privilege to be a board moderator or co-administrator.
3. Plagiarism is a serious offense, and we do not tolerate it. The sets of information about the organizations that we support here are credited and linked back to them, and we DO NOT take anything as our own. All other information (eg. our policies, mission and vision, etc.) that are not about the organizations are made by the team. We do not tolerate the use of anything on the site for personal or business purposes without our written consent and/or proper citation of our site.
4. Respect is very critical for us, and we do not allow any form of discourtesy. We encorage our members to converse with love, respect, and patience which we should always do as part of the body of Christ.
Posting Topics or Replying to Posts:
1. We do not tolerate any means of violence, profanity, immorality, and the like. No bashing, swearing, fighting of any sort, or giving out racist remarks allowed anywhere in this site. We have the right to delete any posts or topics with the above-mentioned contents, and issue a warning and/or ban the member from accessing the site.

Donation Policies:
1. We do not hold any fundraising for our own profit; all of the donations go directly to World Vision through our OFFICIAL Fundraising Webpage. We do not require cash or cheque or any kind of donation to pass through us, especially online. Only during local fundraising events (such as fundraising in church or family events) do we handle donations which will ALL be sent to World Vision afterwards.
2. We currently do not accept donations that are not made through the team's official webpage, because we first want to establish the team and our credibility. Except for local fundraising events, we suggest that all other donations not made through credit card payment (eg. cheques or cash) should be directed to World Vision.
Any comments, questions, or suggestions should be directed to the administrator.
