TPRF

Dear Friends of TPRF,
TPRF is making a substantial difference for the earthquake victims in Haiti.
Here is a progress report from Josette Sheeran, the Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP), which is one of our partners in the field and the recipient of our first $50,000 contribution:
January 25, 2010 — "Words cannot describe the devastation that has been wrought on Haiti by the January 12 earthquake. Parts of the capital Port-au-Prince look worse than many war zones.  After two days in the city, I have seen the depth of grief and the massive needs the quake has left in its wake…
"WFP is pushing food supplies to the worst affected through five corridors. Our initial response – which was launched within 24 hours of the quake – has focused on targeting the most vulnerable, especially women and children. Our capacity to ramp up the operation is growing on a daily basis. On Friday, we delivered about two million meals - a significant increase from the 1.2 million meals distributed on Thursday. We are getting the job done, even if we wish we could do more, quicker…
"… None of us can count the human cost of this disaster, but generous action can help alleviate the suffering… We thank those that have stepped forward so generously already — the people of Haiti need your continued support now more than ever."
WFP workers, many of whom lost loved ones in the disaster themselves, are laboring night and day to save lives. In addition to distributing millions of ready-to-eat rations, they are setting up mobile field kitchens to provide hot meals to tens of thousands of survivors. Their successes are especially noteworthy considering the near-total collapse of the Haitian infrastructure—roads, communications, and electricity were all non-functional after the quake.
TPRF will be making another large donation very soon. We’ll keep you posted.
Thank you for your ongoing support,

TPRF Donates $50,000 to Provide Food Aid for Earthquake Survivors in Haiti

TPRF Donates $50,000 to Provide Food Aid for Earthquake Survivors in Haiti
Los Angeles, January 19, 2010 — Within days of the earthquake in Haiti, The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) made a donation of US$50,000 to provide immediate food aid for survivors.
TPRF teamed up with one of its ongoing partners, Friends of the World Food Program. The World Food Program (WFP) was able to begin delivering food within 24 hours of the disaster, since it has an already-established aid operation in Haiti, long ranked as the poorest nation in the western hemisphere. With stores of ready-to-eat food and trained staff already in Haiti and in the nearby Dominican Republic, WFP has now delivered rations to over 200,000 people in and around Port-au-Prince.
The initial phase of their six-month recovery plan is to distribute one-week supplies of High Energy Biscuits, which are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals and can provide the immediate energy needed for survival. Now sixteen million Meals-Ready-to-Eat are en route from the US, Italy and Denmark, set to be distributed in the coming week to people who have no access to cooking facilities.
In addition, food kitchens are being set up in strategic locations in hospitals and schools, including in the town of Leogane, which is close to the epicenter of the quake and which suffered 90% destruction. Some are already serving nutritious hot meals to survivors — for most their first in this very tragic week.
Less than twenty-four hours after the quake hit, The Prem Rawat Foundation began an ongoing fundraising campaign to help the people in Haiti. TPRF plans to continue its aid for the Haitian people to provide support and hope in their long road to recovery.
