PROJECTS • PROMOTION OF WORLD PEACE
THROUGH PRAYER AND MEDITATION PLANETARY PEACE MOVEMENT INTERNATIONAL
The Planetary Peace Movement (PPM) founded by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui (GMCKS) and Charlotte Marti Anderson, is dedicated to promoting world peace and global harmony through meditation and prayer. PPM International organizes lectures, workshops and seminars in over 67 countries to promote awareness about meditating for world peace. The Planetary Meditation for Peace created by GMCKS, is a powerful meditation through which one blesses the entire earth with love, peace, harmony and goodwill. The benefits of the meditation include reduced stress, better health, increased calmness and inner peace and tranquility. People from all walks of life are encouraged to meditate and pray individually as well as in groups for peace and harmony in the world. EFGPWH aids certain special PPM projects including the audio-streaming of special meditations guided by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, via the internet to meditators all over the world.
• ALLEVIATING SUFFERING THROUGH FEEDING PROGRAMS USA Feed Your Soul was started by GMCKS after seeing the sad state of hundreds of homeless people in Santa Monica, California. Out of compassion for the condition of these unfortunate street dwellers, GMCKS bought 100 burgers and had requested some students to hand them out. Shortly thereafter, a regular feeding program was started in Santa Monica. Meals were given out several times a week. Since then, Feed Your Soul has distributed meals in Santa Monica, the Metropolitan Los Angeles area, surrounding areas of Riverside, Orange County, Fresno, as well as other states including Chicago, Illinois and St. Louis, and Kansas City, Missouri.
Friends in Need Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit charitable organization with the purpose of helping the less fortunate by providing food, clothing, and wellness programs. They also work together with other organizations dedicated to ending or minimizing hunger and hardship in Manhattan and in other New York City boroughs. Feeding programs were initiated in New York City, Newark, Philadelphia, and Miami. They now have regular programs in New York, New Jersey, Florida and Philadelphia.

PHILIPPINES MCKS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION The MCKS Charitable Foundation sponsors several humanitarian projects initiated by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui around the world including projects to feed the hungry and rehabilitate the homeless. It is fully funded by international donations. Less than 1% of received donations is used for administrative purposes, with nearly all going directly to the various charitable activities. In 2006, EFWPGH provided 1,000,000 meals in the Philippines through the MCKS FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY FOUNDATION, supported by the MCKS Charitable Foundation.
• INTERNATIONAL DISASTER RELIEF USA HURRICANE IVAN 2004 Hurricane Ivan, the most intense and destructive hurricane of the 2004 season left many homeless, without power and food. Around 52 people died and 25,000 homes were destroyed rendering thousands homeless. Hardest hit was Pensacola , Florida where a portion of a major east-west highway through the Panhandle was washed away. Insurance experts estimated the storm damage from anywhere between US$4-$10 billion. Endowment Fund helped the victims by providing shelter and food to some of the victims.
HURRICANE KATRINA 2005 Hurricane Katrina was the costliest and one of the deadliest
hurricanes in the history of the United States . Most catastrophic
was the effect on the city of New Orleans , Louisiana which was
mostly flooded due to the hurricane. Katrina is estimated to be
responsible for $81.2 billion in damages and killing at least 1800
people and rendering many homeless. Immediately, EFWPGH disbursed funds to render assistance, in
order to provide the victims with shelter and food. People were
forced to evacuate and move to different states, most of them
relocating to the neighboring state, Texas. EFWPGH is still helping
the victims by providing them with new homes and jobs. SOUTHERN ASIA INDONESIAN TSUNAMI 2004 In December 2004, a major earthquake followed by a tsunami hit Asia and Africa , devastating many coastal areas. Almost 200,000 people in eight countries perished in a few hours, and over 100,000 are still missing. Many more had their homes and livelihoods swept away. The coastal areas of Indonesia and Sri Lanka and two Indian island chains bore the brunt of the calamity. Immediately, EFWPGH funds were authorized to a Global organization that had direct access to the Tsunami victims providing shelter, food and clean water. EARTHQUAKE IN INDIA AND PAKISTAN 2006 More than 4 million people were rendered homeless due to the devastating earthquake and at least 75,000 were killed and over 100,000 people injured in India and Pakistan . Reports indicated that entire towns and villages were completely wiped out in Northern Pakistan with other surrounding areas also suffering severe damage. Relief efforts were drastically slow due to inadequate access to the region and severity of weather. The Endowment Fund for Global Peace and World Healing, Inc. helped the victims by providing tents and blankets, through the Rotary International, RI District 3010, India. These tents were used as temporary homes as they were waterproof and windproof making them suitable shelters in high altitude areas. In the future, Research into Alternative Healing with particular emphasis on Pranic Energy Healing® is planned. Plans to promote further initiatives to integrate proven forms of alternative healing into global markets are being explored. The Endowment Fund for World Peace and Global Healing, Inc. was
founded on the principle of giving and sharing as taught by all
major world religions and is guided by MCKS through his humanitarian
example and the inspiration of his extremely active charitable
activities. His recommendations are very much appreciated.
