Through
Network TwentyOne's
non-profit organization,
Network of Caring,
IBOs throughout the Network TwentyOne world are acting to relieve
the suffering in
Haiti.
Network of Caring has established a partnership with
Global Outreach International,
an indigenous Haitian Christian mission heavily engaged in
helping Haiti
recover from this crisis. Originally connected to John Maxwell’s
EQUIP ministry to aid in leadership development, GO is now also
operating a field hospital as well as distributing medicine, food,
and water.
IBOs at Network TwentyOne's recent Winter Conference donated $6,500 and Jim
Dornan personally matched that amount to equal $13,000 for GO's work
in the field. And to meet the long term needs a catastrophic
earthquake creates, Network TwentyOne IBOs have also pledged or given
another $31,000 to provide hundreds of wheelchairs to the newly
disabled in Haiti through Network of Caring’s partnership with
Free Wheelchair Mission. This shipment is
set to arrive in Haiti in late April.
The Free Wheelchair Mission brings wheelchairs to the neediest of
disabled people in third world countries, shipping in parts,
building the wheelchairs on-site, and pairing a wheelchair with a
needy individual at very low cost. There will be a huge need for
these in Haiti considering both the lack of resources in that
country and the nature of injuries that many of the poorest suffered
and the meager medical care available after the disaster.
So far a total of $44,000 has been given and committed to Haiti from
the North American Amway Global IBOs affiliated with Network TwentyOne.
