“Election of 2 new Directors, with equal and independent voting rights: Dr. Kofi Vordzorqbe from Ghana to assist with healthcare programs and media and Mr. Jones T. Silva, a volunteer in Brazil since 2007, to assist with our services for the poor of Brazil and media. Jones is related to one of the board members and has been identified for succession planning. Despite the familial connection, all board members serve without compensation and have equal voting rights, ensuring decisions are made in the best interest of the organization. As part of our commitment to continuity and innovation, we are preparing this new director for increased responsibilities to ensure a seamless transition as veteran board members approach retirement. This strategy is designed to infuse the organization with fresh perspectives while preserving the legacy of its success. The familial tie among this small portion of board members is instrumental in preserving the organization's core values and maintaining a legacy of integrity in directorial roles. Also, being younger and more media savvy, we hope they will be able to expand our donor base. Both also conduct vetting of recipient organizations as part of our grant approval process.”

“We try to have large donations matched by at least one board member to encourage donors giving. Sometimes this results in unusually large donations being received and matched.”
