Joplin, Missouri PIFP Tornado Relief Efforts
|
|
Front entrance of Irving Elementary School
|
|
We are honored to be able to launch our first domestic project this August by assisting the community of Joplin, Missouri still recovering from the destructive tornado that struck the city on May 22, 2011 (multiple vortex EF5 rating). The media and cameras have retreated to the next big story and the people of Joplin still need our help. This was one of the deadly tornadoes in U.S. history and will most likely be the costliest as it is estimated that it will be more than $3 billion to rebuild Joplin.
Pay It Forward Project will be sponsoring 2 elementary school classrooms and will be traveling to Joplin a week before school starts to purchase school supplies there as a means to boost their economy. We will be spending time with the teachers and will meet the kids as they start back to school on August 17th. Your support on this journey will enable these kids to have the learning tools they need as they head back to school as a crucial step toward developing some much needed routine in their lives.

Pay It Forward Project returned from our first assessment trip to Haiti which was both eye opening and awarding. Life is moving forward for the Haitians but there is so much need that still exists as the people cohabitate with visible destruction at every turn. We appreciate your patience as we maneuver the balance of coming back home to our full time jobs & responsibilities and will have our stories and pictures available shortly.

Located in Islamabad, Children’s Planet is a non-profit organization that was founded in January 2006 to care for the orphans that resulted from the earthquake of September 2005 in Balakot, Pakistan. The Pakistani Government donated the land where the institution was built and where the organization provides education, room and board to the children that are developing their lives.

Salvador PIFP Donates Eye Surgery for a remarkable Lady!
|
 |
 |
This particular program is the one that holds a special place in our hearts and is the one we are most grateful for being able to realize. We met Delores Ortiz in 2006 when we were distributing rice and beans to families in the community of Armenia. This diminutive lady of 70 years and not more than 4'9" gave our Founder Denise Bobba a bear hug of appreciation that almost took Denise's breath away! Delores is the sole bread earner for a family of 5 as her daughter was unable to work due to a serious illness that she unfortunately succumbed to 2 months after we left El Salvador in July of this year. Delores is now raising her 3 grandchildren by herself.
