UK aid is supporting the production and distribution of nutrient-enriched peanut paste in Kenya, to help treat children suffering from malnutrition as a result of the extended drought which is gripping much of the country. Over 2.7 million people have been affected by the drought in Kenya, including over 1 million children. Over 100,000 of those are children under 5 years old who are in need of treatment for severe malnutrition.The UK has already provided funding for 14,000 cartons of the peanut paste in Kenya, enough to treat 14,000 severely malnourished children since October 2016. Each carton contains 150 sachets of the paste, which are dosed at approximately 3 per child per day for about 2 weeks. The paste (which is also known as 'Plumpy Nut' or RUTF - Ready to Use Therapeutic Food) helps malnourished children regain weight and nutrition quickly and safely. Most children will recover within 2 weeks of treatment, whereas many would die without it. The UK has recently provided an additional £4 million funding to UNICEF to enable them to locate and treat an additional 70,000 of the most severely malnourished children at risk this year.

 

Repeated failed rains have left Kenya facing it's worst drought crisis in over 30 years. The drought is also affecting millions of people in South Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia.

JAKARTA WELCOMES ITS FIRST TUNE HOTEL

Value branded hotel chain continues its expansion in Indonesia

  

Jakarta, 3 September 2012 – Tune Hotels, the global branded value hotel chain, continues to expand in Indonesia with the opening of its latest hotel in Pasar Baru, Jakarta. Tune Hotel Pasar Baru would represent the global brand’s third property in Indonesia, (following Tune Hotel Kuta and Legian in Bali) and the first hotel in central Jakarta, offering world-class accommodation at extremely affordable rates, providing the essentials for a good night’s sleep. Tune Hotel Pasar Baru has 168 rooms in total, 125 Doubles, 42 Twin-sharing and a special needs room. The opening of Tune Hotel Pasar Baru was attended by popular Indonesian celebrities Nicholas Saputra and Izabel Jahja.

 

The expansion of the Tune Hotel brand in Indonesia is spurred by the country’s strong economy, rising number of tourists and favorable business environment. Jakarta is one of the largest cities in the world and ranked third after Bali and Sulawesi recording the highest hotel room occupancy in Indonesia according to the Statistics Indonesia of the Republic Indonesia. Pasar Baru is one of Jakarta’s most popular tourist destination and its central location is also ideal for business activities. Known for its shopping experience, visitors can “go back in time” to take in the beauty of its Dutch influenced colonial and Chinese architecture of its buildings as one strolls along the coble stone streets.

 

According to Mark Lankester, Group CEO of Tune Hotels, “Jakarta represents a gateway for leisure travellers more often as a stop-over before continuing their journey to other popular destinations such as Bali, Medan, Yogyakarta and Surabaya. Nevertheless Jakarta also serves as a central business destination drawing frequent business travellers from the South East Asian region and domestically within Indonesia as well. Hence, the opening of Tune Hotel Pasar Baru would cater to the needs of leisure and business travellers looking for convenient, comfortable and value-for-money accommodation. “

 

Lankester added that more expansion plans are on the way for the Tune Hotel brand in Indonesia which includes Pekan Baru, Makassar, Solo, Palembang and Surabaya. The vast country of sprawling archipelago has much to offer; from natural beauty, historical heritage to cultural diversity. Moreover, statistics from the Travel and Tourism Competitive Index (TTCI) in 2011 ranks Indonesia as the thirteenth most attractive destination in the Asia-Pacific to commence travel and tourism business operations.

 

Other Tune Hotel properties in Indonesia are located in Kuta and Legian, Bali which have been a favourite among visitors to Bali. The hotels’ popularity was recognized when it was named among the Top 20 Indonesia Innovative Brands of 2011 by Indonesia’s leading marketing industry magazine, MIX. It was Tune Hotels' innovativeness to its ability to serve the practical needs of tourists by giving them the best value that garnered the attention and illustrated by Legian and Kuta hotels being ranked #3 and #7 Best Value Hotels in Bali on TripAdvisor. Tune Hotels was selected along with other global leading brands to be named on the list and the only Malaysian-originated brand.

 

Red Planet Hotels owns and operates the Tune Hotel Pasar Baru in close association with Tune Hotel and its Chief Executive Officer, Tim Hansing, said that this hotel was the first of many more to come in Indonesia from Red Planet as the Tune brand expands across the country.

 

“This is the first hotel of eight more we have under construction in Indonesia and we will have some exciting announcements about more sites we are in the midst of acquiring. We are making some significant investments in Indonesia in the budget hotel sector as we have full confidence in the potential of Indonesia and the Indonesian travel sector to grow this market” said Hansing.

 

Tune Hotels currently has eleven hotels in Malaysia, four in LondonUnited Kingdom, four in The Philippines and two in Thailand. Hotels in Malaysia are located in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, KLIA-LCCT Airport, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Johor Bahru, Kota Damansara, Bintulu, Kota Bharu, Kulim and Ipoh.

 

Hotels in Asia includes Hat Yai and Pattaya in Thailand; Angeles City, Cebu City, Ermita and Makati, Manila in The Philippines; Kuta and Legian in Bali and Pasar Baru, Jakarta in Indonesia; Westminster, Liverpool Street, Paddington and Kings Cross in London, UK.

Under the concept, guests only pay for room rates with the option of adding on other amenities like towels & toiletries, air-conditioning, in-room Wifi and satellite TV service at selected hotels.

Calling on guests to stay connected with Tune Hotels via the social media networks Facebook and Twitter, Mark Lankester, says “More Tune Hotels are scheduled for opening in Asean, the UK, India and Australia, that will give our guests even more options for travel destinations.

In a field survey conducted in 1958, 23,579 Métis were identified in Manitoba. They are shown on the map in a primitive way, by simply writing in numbers. It was found that the Métis lived in 253 communities, with 4,497 north of the 53rd parallel and 19,082 to the south. The largest concentration was in greater Winnipeg (3,500), with Selkirk (1,500), San Clara (950), and St. Laurent (949) following in order. The Métis are fairly widely distributed, but with the great contrast of being concentrated in some of the larger centres and also in the bush at particular places.

UPS Pre-Loader Elizabeth Reid loads a food box onto a delivery van to deliver needed food of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) Meals to You program that responded to the school closures due to COVID-19, here one of the partners, PepsiCo, implemented a logistics solution that utilizes package delivery company (UPS) to get multi-week supplemental food boxes to children in rural locations, such as Natalia, TX, on August 24, 2020.

 

USDA first began the Meals to You program in 2019 as a three-year demonstration project designed to test a method to deliver nutritious food to children during the summer months in rural areas where the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is not available to difficult to access. USDA entered into an agreement with Baylor University's Texas Hunger Initiative (now called the Baylor Collaborative on Hunger and Poverty) for the original demonstration.

 

In response to COVID-19, USDA and its partners were able to leverage the summer demonstration project to ensure rural children had access to food during pandemic-related school closures. The Emergency Meals to You demonstration project continues our public-private partnership with the Baylor Collaborative on Hunger and Poverty and McLane Global that began in Summer 2019, and additionally includes Pepsi Co. and Chartwells.

 

USDA was able to fund this expansion utilizing funding provided by the CARES Act. Overall, we allocated $185 million for the program (from the $8.8 billion that the CARES Act provided for Child Nutrition.)

 

Meals to You boxes are delivered directly to children's homes via the U.S. Postal Service or another delivery service. Each box contains 20 nutritious, shelf-stable meals, including ten breakfasts and ten lunches/suppers. In participating states, families with students who attend an eligible school or are eligible for free or reduced-price meals may opt-in to receive one box per child every two weeks.

 

The original goal was to serve 1 million meals per week, which was quickly surpassed. The partnership is now serving around 5 million meals per week.

Throughout the week of March 8-12, 2010, U.S. based NGO Samaritan’s Purse continued its distribution of relief/recovery goods to Samoan communities affected by the September 2009 Tsunami.

 

The Samaritan’s Purse Samoa Tsunami Project is part of on-going U.S. Government assistance. Samaritan’s Purse were awarded a USD $500,000 (WST $1.259 million) grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), to distribute tsunami relief/recovery non-food items to affected communities in the Independent State of Samoa. Samaritan’s Purse has partnered with local NGO and church based groups such as the Apia Protestant Church, Rhema Bible School and other volunteer groups in the country. The organization also coordinated efforts with the Disaster Management Office (DMO) and Samoa Red Cross Society to access information identifying the total number and names of families whose homes and possessions were affected directly by the September tsunami.

 

After the initial USAID assessment, members of Samaritans Purse flew into Samoa in early October 2009 to plan this project. As soon as DMO and Red Cross identified affected families, the first set of goods (hygiene kits and other items of immediate need) were distributed in early November—this was followed by two additional rounds with the second and third distribution including other items of use at that time, such as mats, linens, tools, wheelbarrows, lanterns, etc.; the March 8-12 goods distribution will be the final distribution to affected families, and came because the organization was able to stretch the original dollars further than expected.

 

Packages including mosquito nets, kerosene burners and kerosene supply, axes, spades, shovels, picks, machetes, kerosene lanterns, plates and cups, buckets, nails, hammers and mats, among other items were distributed directly to household members. Most of the goods distributed were purchased locally from hardware and supermarkets in Samoa.

 

For the current distribution of goods, Samaritans Purse identified 300 families in 26 villages including Aleipata (Utufa’alalafa, Saleaumua, Mtiatele, lotopue, Malaela, Satitia, Ulutogia, Vailoa, Lalomanu, Saleapaga, Lepa, Lotofaga) to Falealili (Matatufu, Sapoe, Utulaelae, Salani, Salesatele, Sapunaoa, Satalo, Tafatafa) Siumu area (Siumu I Sisifo, Tafitoala, Sataia, Saanapu) Manono Island and south west Upolu (Manono Uta, Samatau, Siufaga, Matafaa, Lepuiai, Faleu, Apai) and Savaii (Satupaitea—Pitonuu and Mosula) to receive assistance.

 

U.S. Embassy Apia Chargé Yeager stated that the benefit of the USAID grant through the work of Samaritans Purse is the United States Government’s continued commitment to provide relief to victims of the disaster that affected Samoa. The donations made by the U.S. Government to the Government of the Independent State of Samoa, to local NGOs and to Samaritan’s Purse for work in Samoa, as well as the arrival of tons of goods sent by caring Americans, and organized by the Samoan communities in the U.S. over the past 6 months are all a reflection of the humanitarian sprit and concern for the people of Samoa from the people of the United States.

 

“Our work in Samoa has been rewarding, from volunteers, local business to the families, everyone has been great and grateful,” said Paul Murphy of Samaritans Purse. “The helpfulness of the people has ensured the success of our job, we are having fun--being the Santa Clauses giving out gifts and seeing the smiles on people’s faces”. Samaritan’s Purse is an American NGO formed by Rev. Franklin Graham, son of famed religious figure Rev. Billy Graham.

 

Rev. Nuuausala Siaosi of the Apia Protestant Church has been a key member in the distribution, serving as the project’s main liaison and protocol advisor. Rev. Siaosi has been with the project and at every site from the beginning along with youth from his congregation who have all tirelessly volunteered their time. Rev Siaosi states “it is a privilege to distribute goods with Samaritan’s Purse and it’s been a privilege to be part of the countrywide help for affected tsunami families. God bless the American people for these gifts.”

 

Taofi Tupufia of Manono Uta was grateful when her family was given household supplies , she said “God bless the good people of America, we will not forget this kindness”. This was further echoed by Lavea Talaia of Samatau who thanked the American people for the gifts, “which will help us in the rebuilding of homes, families and communities.”

 

Samaritan’s Purse’s work in Samoa will wind down towards the end of this month after the distribution of 362 air horns to villages as part of a national tsunami warning system. Purchased through additional USAID funds the project will be jointly organized and distributed with help from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment’s Disaster Management Office.
