Welcome to IMHO USA

IMHO held two fundraising & awareness-raising events on Saturday, November 21st in Phoenix, Arizona and Carmel, Indiana. A nice buffet dinner, followed by an IMHO presentation and Question & Answer session by an IMHO representative, took place at a private residence in Phoenix. About 20 persons attended and learned about IMHO, its global activities, and its attention to the needs of the resettled (or soon to be resettled) IDPs in Sri Lanka.

Attention to mental health is of primary concern, as there is great need to help develop mental health services and treat the many who were displaced or deeply affected by the conflict. Also of concern is the need for physical rehabilitation for amputees, livelihoods support and empowerment (especially for women) to help get families back on their feet, and continued attention to primary care, sanitation, and water. 

A second event was held in Carmel, Indiana at the Bayhill Club House. Organized by local supporters of IMHO, the event drew in a number of families and collected much needed funds for meeting the needs of the IDPs in Sri Lanka. 

We are very grateful to all who helped organize these events and bring IMHO to the attention of those in these new areas. If you or anyone you know is interested in starting an IMHO chapter or hosting an IMHO event, please contact us to discuss specifics. Through the support of our volunteers we can continue to share our work with others and build the organization, so that we may better serve those in need globally.
