Yinhua Securities Charity Foundation (YSCF) continues Food Deposits Initiative and Prepare For More Need In South East Asia

Leave a comment

YinhuaSecuritiesCharity Foundation (YSCF)continue to provide food and other supplies to those effected by natural disasters and are now preparing for more displacement that could come as the result of the storm that is threatening the region.

To date, more than 3.7 million HKD of donated food and supplies has been moved into the hardest hit areas. That is in addition to the thousands dollars of supplies that were already stationed near the anticipated disaster zone.

An additional 1.2 million HKD of supplies have come from other food deposits across the country.

” Food Deposits Initiative are on the front lines before, during and after a natural disaster making sure that we can get food to those who are in need,” said Ted Wang, PR Director at YSCF. “Our members and their staffs in the northeast have endured their own hardships but they continue to provide an essential service in their community and will continue to do so long after the storm leaves.”

Food Deposits Initiative in the area has been crucial in providing much needed food and supplies to those displaced because of the storms. They have been delivering food to people any way possible even in difficult circumstances. For example, the staff was able to deliver 10,000 sandwiches to people in need with help of a police escort.

Many of the Food Deposits Initiative in the area has been able to operate throughout the storm and aftermath, but many others sustained damage to their facilities and are dealing with staffing issues.

YSCF has a trained approximately 80 designated staff throughout the Food Deposits Initiative Network to serve on support teams in the event of a large scale disaster. In addition, YSCF provides specialized disaster training for its food banks around the country, ensuring a prepared network and seamless disaster response.

AAA says Sage survey shows growing interest in Social Enterprises

Leave a comment

AAA claims that the recent results of the Sage Nonprofit Insights grant management survey in the US shows that partnering with social enterprises can benefit non profit organisations.

Boston, MA, USA, December 24, 2012 — Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) claims that the recent results of the Sage Nonprofit Insights grant management survey in the US shows that partnering with social enterprises can benefit non profit organisations.

The survey found that 17 per cent of the US and Canadian nonprofits questioned were either currently partnering social enterprises or were planning to soon, while 32 per cent were not aware either way. Among those that are partnered with social enterprises, 90 per cent said that the partnership has been ‘very’ to ‘somewhat’ successful.

Although this is a positive sign for impact investment, there is still a problem with a lack of awareness about involvement in impact investing. Some 32 per cent of respondents had no idea if their organisation had sought to take part in impact investing.

Sage Nonprofit Solutions’ general manager and senior vice president, Krista Endsley, explained how social enterprises are starting to become more involved with the non profit sector in general. “The proliferation of social enterprise programs is moving many organizations into what is called a hybrid model of operation, where both a non profit and for-profit entity coexist in order to accomplish a social or environmental mission,” she said.

The researchers also found that 48 per cent said their organisation had sought the information they need to take part in a partnership with a social enterprise in the future.

AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, said that the results of the survey showed that impact investing and social enterprise in general was being taken increasingly seriously. “Investing in ethical projects, such as community projects, education or environmentally-beneficial projects, like sustainable plantations, not only brings peace of mind to investors, but they also see healthy returns.”

AAA supports a range of alternative investment projects, such as the forestry investment scheme run by Greenwood Management in Brazil. The company operates sustainable plantations of teak and eucalyptus that can deliver healthy returns to investors over the medium to long-term.

Schools around the U.S. have found it difficult to put strong security controls in place because of lack of funding and resistance by parents and staff, who, unfortunately, saw physical security controls as too restrictive.

Boca Raton, FL (USA), December 22, 2012 — Schools around the U.S. have found it difficult to put strong security controls in place because of lack of funding and resistance by parents and staff, who, unfortunately, saw physical security controls as too restrictive.

The web 2.0 program, Risk-Pro for School Security©, is affordable and simple to use. It includes fully-updated threat databases, and automated web-surveys based on security requirements from FEMA 428.

“With 3-year old twins in my family, I was high motivated to make sure they are safe at their pre-school, and have fielded calls from dozens of security professionals who are worried about their children’s school security posture. The Risk-Pro© model has been used for easy software applications with the Department of Defense and over fifty hospitals, health plans and government agencies.

Free Webinar Aims to Teach People How to Overcome Fear and Achieve Success

Leave a comment

The Center for Education and Healing is hosting a free “Overcoming Fear” webinar facilitated by popular author and spiritual coach Teri Pickens, DD. The online workshop will be held January 9 at 8 p.m. E.S.T.

Ridgewood, NJ (USA), December 22, 2012 — The Center for Education and Healing (CE&H) is holding a free online workshop January 9 at 8 p.m. E.S.T to teach people how to comprehend and cope with fears.

Entitled “Overcoming Fear,” the information-packed webinar will discuss the two steps to conquering fear and show participants how to rid themselves of fear-conditioning (learned fear). The in-depth discussion will benefit people who are tired of letting fear hold them back from succeeding in their professional or personal life, according to Teri Pickens, DD, the founder of CE&H. The workshop will also help participants recognize the broad impact that fear has on the world around them.

“It will help them to understand why a young man in Newtown, Conn. massacred 20 children and six adults by helping them to understand the dangers of their own primal fear gone awry,” Pickens said. “We are the only company that can answer why things happen in the bigger society, why people seek to fix themselves and why fear dominates the world.”

Interestingly, CE&H was founded by Pickens following a supernatural epiphany she had about primal fear and its evil, self-destructive nature. At the time, Pickens—who was working as a mental health counselor—was suffering from depression, mood swings and addictions. Then she received a divine revelation about the negative effects of fear and, through the grace of God, was able to spiritually transform her life. Now she is dedicated to sharing that revelation in an effort to prevent fear from wreaking havoc on people’s lives. Today, Pickens is a popular speaker, spiritual coach and pastor, as well as the author of “The Fear Cure in Four Miraculous Steps.” Her insightful book—which focuses on overcoming anxiety attack symptoms—coaching services and ongoing workshops are helping to heal and transform numerous lives.

For more information about CE&H or to register for the “Overcoming Fear” workshop, please visit http://www.centerforeducationandhealing.com. Or call Teri Pickens at (201) 739-8759 for more information.

About CE&H:
CE&H was established in 2009 by Teri Pickens, DD, the author of “The Fear Cure in Four Miraculous Steps.” The company’s mission is to inspire a culture of faith and hope and an environment of spiritual awareness throughout the world.
