Open Meeting, October 26—

World Help Foundation Is Expanding Its Volunteer Program

World Help Foundation (WHF) shipped three solar/battery-back up Community Water Distribution Systems to Ghana last week. These are conveniently placed village access towers where people can draw water for home use. Many computers and books were also sent with this shipment.

This follows the sending of the ten Disaster Relief Systems, serving 12 users at a time, to Banda Aceh, Indonesia, the epicenter of the December 2004 earthquake and point of origin of that devastating tsunami.

In order to complete these projects, WHF has relied upon faithful volunteers and the group is now expanding its volunteer program.

World Help Foundation serves as a catalyst to focus attention to the world problem of unsafe drinking water, directly and collaboratively, through research, field testing, implementation and replication, education and public awareness. Founded in 1995, WHF is a publicly supported 501(c)(3) charity.

WHF’s vision is to see a significant increase in access to clean water and sanitation facilities in rural areas around the world, sustaining life and dramatically improving health.

WHF will host a volunteer meeting at 7 on Thursday, October 26, at its office, 5 Diamond Drive. There will be a presentation about the mission and the work of WHF, a review of the various jobs and tasks that volunteers can take up, and information on how to get started.

Reservations are requested; call Kathy Taurus, the CEO of World Help Foundation, at 426-0433. Detailed information about WHF is available online at WorldHelpFound.org.

Anyone who is interested in the group but cannot make it to the volunteer meeting on the 26th can call Ms Taurus to arrange a different time to meet.

“We know that you will be richly rewarded for your contribution to helping those who are still so needlessly suffering,” said Ms Taurus.

Donations in support of WHF’s work is also needed on an ongoing basis. Contributions may be mailed to World Help Foundation, PO Box 500, Newtown CT 06470.
