World Hunger Day 2019 – May 28th
In preparation of World Hunger Day 2019, Embrace Relief is proud to announce that thanks to its supporters and volunteers, the organization was able to distribute 3,500 food packs to the hungry in Africa, Greece and even the United States. Your hard work has kept Embrace Relief in line with the ideals and initiatives of The Hunger Project, particularly those established in World Hunger Day.
The Hunger Project, the organization heading World Hunger Day, was founded in 1977. On its website, it describes itself as a strategic organization, that has reinvented itself repeatedly to continually meet new challenges in the fight against hunger.(1) First held on May 28, 2010, World Hunger Day is designed to raise awareness of the approximately 815 million people worldwide experiencing chronic hunger. Furthermore, it seeks to celebrate sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty.(2)
Like The Hunger Project, Embrace Relief knows that resolving hunger and poverty lie at the heart of improving employment opportunities, health, education, social justice, the rights of women and girls, the environment and climate change. In this way, both organizations are aligned with achieving the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goals 1-5, 8, 10, 13 and 16. These goals are No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Good Health/Well-Being, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Decent Work/Economic Growth, Reduced Inequalities, Climate Action and Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, respectively.
The hard work of Embrace Relief’s volunteers and donors has been invaluable, without which Embrace Relief would be unable to participate in this or any hunger relief initiatives. As such, the organization asks its followers to continue their support. All of your contributions bring us closer to realize a fuller and more equal world.

Share The Food
As great as it is to receive a gift, the giver feels the greater benefit. Studies have found that generosity engenders better long-term happiness and longevity, because human beings are biologically rewarded for altruism in the form of the hormones dopamine and oxytocin. In turn, these hormones promote gratification and tranquility, while decreasing cortisol, a hormone which puts us at greater risk of heart disease, depression and other maladies.
It was in this spirit that Embrace Relief asked its supporters to donate to its International Hunger Relief campaign. To our immense pride, many of you answered.
Your contributions enabled Embrace Relief to distribute over 3,500 food packs to refugee families in Greece, Tanzanian children, and Yemeni families. On behalf of recipients, Embrace Relief thanks you for your generosity.
Needless to say, our International Hunger Relief campaign is still ongoing and so we will continue delivering food packs for those in need. Please consider joining our efforts and donating a food pack today.

Honor Thy Mother
This Sunday marks Mother’s Day. If nothing else, many mothers hope to sleep in and not have to make breakfast. Some can expect bouquets of flowers, endearing cards, baskets of fruit or chocolate. At a minimum, many will receive the well wishes and affection of their children. There are any number of ways to show your mother your love and appreciation.
This Mother’s Day, Embrace Relief offers you yet another method, one which will make a difference. In honor of your mother, we ask you to consider making a donation to improve the lives of those in the developing world. Through Embrace Relief’s Mother’s Day 2019 campaign, donors may bestow one of two gifts:
The Gift of Sight
Worldwide, over two million people suffer from cataracts and related complications. $120 is all it costs to restore someone’s sight. Contributions help mobilize physicians, so they can conduct cataracts surgeries, as well as routine health screenings.
The Gift of Hope
According to a survey conducted by Unicef, 9 million orphans reside in Sub-Saharan Africa. These vulnerable children are deprived of affection, adequate nutrition and an education, all of which are necessary for proper development and a productive future. Contributions to this branch of the campaign will go toward basic needs, medical services and providing an education.
You could show your mother no greater recognition than by expanding opportunities for those in need in her honor. Furthermore, these projects promote several of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Namely, they advance Goals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6: No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-Being, Quality Education and Clean Water and Sanitation, respectively.
Together, we will improve the lives of mothers and children in the developing world. In so doing, they gain the means to attain self-sufficiency for themselves, their families and their communities.

Mother’s Day 2019
Honor your mother this year in a way that will truly make a difference
with a donation to improve the lives of mothers and children.
Give the Gift of Sight:
Over two million people worldwide experience vision problems resulting from cataracts, despite the availability of a cure for just $120. Your tax deductible donation will help Embrace Relief mobilize physicians so they can perform regular health check-ups and cataract surgeries in developing countries. To date, we have funded over 2,100 cataract surgeries and 21,000 health checkups.
Give the Gift of Hope:
Children are our most precious assets, yet in many parts of the world they are deprived of the essential care and education they need to develop and flourish. Your tax-deductible donation will help Embrace Relief cover a child’s basic physical needs, as well as their medical and educational costs.
Honor your mother by providing greater opportunities to those in need. Together we can improve the lives of children by providing immediate necessities while building life-long solutions for them and their families.

Youth Island NY 2017 & 2018 Trips
In 2017, Youth Island of New York traveled to Haiti where they taught English to local school children, completed various construction projects, and supplied three orphanages with food. The following year in 2018, the group traveled to Tanzania where they built a water well that continues to serve the village. They also refurbished an orphanage with donated beds, tables, chairs, toys and painted cartoons on the walls of the orphanage.
Each year, in collaboration with Embrace Relief, Youth Island NY gathers a team of eight students and a mentor for international trips to administer humanitarian aid in the form of health screenings, construction and food drives.
In the summer of 2017, a team traveled to Haiti. During the trip, the students taught local children English and carried out various constructive activities. Besides supplying three orphanages with food, they helped them improve and maintain proper sanitary practices.
A year later in Tanzania, they built a water well in a village experiencing water scarcity and assisted in the refurbishment of an orphanage. The volunteers donated and assembled new beds complete with pillows, sheets, blankets, as well as tables, toys and slippers. To brighten the children’s environment, they painted the walls with cartoon characters.
This coming summer, they will bring their services to Uganda, where many residents are without access to basic healthcare services. While there, the team hopes to conduct screenings for 1,400 people, preventing diseases like malaria, HIV and diarrhea. In particular, they wish to improve the welfare of children. 4,000 people will also receive food packages.
Youth Island NY relies entirely on donations to perform these services and so the group asks you to consider contributing to its fundraising campaign. Your contribution will feed families, improve wellbeing and bestow aid recipients with the means to further their own development.

Youth Island 2019 Summer International Trip
This upcoming summer, Youth Island NY will be traveling to Uganda, which has one of the world’s worst healthcare records and a 39 percent undernourishment rate. Such conditions can lead to physical and cognitive stunting, as well as poor academic performance.
Comprised of eight students and a mentor, Youth Island conducts health screenings, water well construction and food drives. Previously, they have offered these services to needy residents of Haiti and Tanzania.
However, the group relies on donations in order to deliver these services. Their needs are as follows:
