This shipment |
On April 20, 2009 the second shipment of life-saving milk powder was sent from IMHO through CHA to benefit those within the conflict zone. However, with an upsurge in violence that day, the shipment of milk powder and vegetables was re-routed to Jaffna to benefit the IDPs there. With recent reports highlighting issues related to severe malnutrition and disease, as well as the lingering threat of starvation, this much needed milk powder/nutrition will both save lives and benefit the overall health of those affected. 
was valued at $75,000 and was made possible by our Canadian counterparts (IMHO Canada) through the money raised at their successful telethon fundraiser in Toronto on April 11, 2009. A number of private donors also contributed to this effort. Thank you to all who supported this initiative in such a timely manner. In total, IMHO has now contributed $125,000 in life-saving milk powder/nutrition (in 2 installments of $50,000 and $75,000 respectively).
