Shipment #4 is ready to go! Our continuing gratitude to all our donors and most notably the Avalon Park Kiwanis for their generous contributions of Nestle and Enfamil liquid formula, Pediasure, diapers and wipes! Incidentally, for those of you who may not know just how much this stuff is worth-- besides being invaluable to the babies in need-- please take a stroll down the baby aisle the next time you visit a grocery store! These donors have spent a pretty penny indeed on these items... God bless all the many, giving hearts out there...

Formula One Life to Haiti: Shipment #2

Today as we prepared our second formula shipment to Haiti, we received a very special delivery! The Wenatchee Free Methodist Church in Washington heard about Formula One Life teaming up with Clean the World in our Haiti relief efforts and donated 10 Sawyer water filter kits which remove dangerous bacteria such as cholera, typhoid, salmonella, dysentery and E. Coli. These kits cost $60 each! Our heartfelt thanks to the parishioners of Wenatchee Free Methodist Church! What an invaluable gift for the people of Haiti... God bless you and all our Formula One Life donors who have given so generously to our Haiti mission!

First Formula Shipment to Haiti!

Shawn Seipler, Exec. Dir. of Clean the World, receiving our first shipment of formula for Haiti...

This just in!! Please read the awesome news I just got from Shawn this morning, Jan. 21st:

...Thank you and your entire network for the wonderful donations of powder and liquid formula...Want to let you know that the powder formula is getting on a plane today!! Our driver is picking it up and delivering to a hospital so it should be in use by this evening!
Great work. More to come soon!

Shawn Seipler, Executive Director
Clean the World

Thanks to the generosity of Formula One Life donors and our amazing neighbors at Clean the World who are coordinating CARE flights (Corporate Aviators Responding to Emergencies) from Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale as well as cruise shipments from Miami, we were able to send our first formula shipment to Haiti, today! This partnership was a match made in heaven, as Clean the World has enabled us to also send powdered formula along with their 250,000 bottles of water and teams of physicians! Shawn explained the routing and distribution to me as follows: All of the CARE flights leaving Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale as well as cruise ships from Miami are going to Cap-Haitien where distribution is running more efficiently than Port Au Prince. From there the donations are taken to hospitals, orphanages and Clean the World warehouses in the northern part of the island which are being used as distribution centers. Shawn says the Haitian people are migrating en masse to the north to get out of Port Au Prince and are receiving aid and supplies from these warehouses. As an added blessing, Shawn appointed the majority of our formula as medical supplies so most of it will be accompanied by physicians and in good hands to ensure it reaches the infants in need.

Pictured here is $1000 worth of formula from our wonderful donors and REACH In Action which contributed 45 cans of Nestle Good Start! We anticipate sending another shipment very soon as Florida Kiwanis Clubs hold formula drives across the state in support of our Formula One Life+ mission to Haiti. Our heartfelt thanks to all the beautiful people who have helped and continue to help make this mission possible for the infant orphans of Haiti...

Formula One Life/Kiwanis/REACH out to Haiti...

At the DCM Central FL Kiwanis meeting with Lt. Gov. Gene Leonard, Avalon Park Pres. Dave Schmitt and Paul Iandoli

This evening, we presented our "Formula One Life+" mission for Haiti to the district leaders of Kiwanis Clubs across Central Florida. We felt very blessed by the response we received and will be teaming up in the coming days with a number of local Kiwanis clubs collecting liquid, ready to feed bottles of formula (due to the limited clean water supply in Haiti), non-perishable food items and first aid supplies. We will also be partnering with the organization REACH in Action (reachinaction.com) which will be donating from their food pantry/resale shop in Altamonte Springs. Formula One Life flight attendants will be carrying the donations to Haiti when ground operations there permit. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti... Please contact us if you have liquid formula, food or medical supplies to donate. Thank you.

Formula One Life Hero!

Summers and me with Dave Schmitt- President of the Kiwanis Club in Avalon Park- who invited us to speak at the Kiwanis breakfast at Eastside Bistro on Jan. 7th. So far, Dave has arranged formula drives for us at Timber Creek H.S., Lake Nona H.S., Avalon Middle School and Stone Lakes Elementary and has even sent word out to Kiwanis Clubs across the state in an effort to help us raise enough formula for our upcoming mission to Ethiopia in March. I nominate Dave Schmitt as our first, official Formula One Life HERO!! Thank you, Dave!!

"I Wanna Feed the Hungry Children..."

My friend, Amanda, is in Ethiopia right now leading a "Visiting Orphans" mission team with Britt Nicole on it... I just saw Amanda's post on Facebook that Britt taught the orphans to sing her hit song, "Set the World On Fire." I can only IMAGINE what a sight and sound that was to witness! I can't wait to see and share that video, but until then, here is a great live performance of Britt singing "Set the World on Fire." What awesome inspiration for our own upcoming trip to Ethiopia in March!
"I wanna feed the hungry children... reach across the farthest land... tell the broken there is healing and mercy in the Father's hands..." Britt Nicole, Set the World on Fire

Never forget...

(for widescreen version on YouTube, click play then click on video)

I came across this recently made video from Hannah's Hope, Guatemala, where we stayed on our last misson trip in November... Tears filled my eyes when I saw the familiar faces of our little friends, Alex, Miguel, Efraim, Carlitos... Alex who never stops smiling in spite of being quadriplegic... and Efraim who cannot see, speak or hear but lights up at the slightest touch from a loving hand caressing his face.... One of the caregivers pictured in this video broke down in tears when talking to me about the 'special needs' children... Her heart was so heavy for them and the overwhelming needs they have... I pray these children feel truly touched by the hands of God through those who care for them so lovingly...

The scriptural lyrics of this favorite hymn echo within me...
"I will never forget you, my people... I have carved you on the palm of my hand... I will never forget you, I will not leave you orphaned... I will never forget my own..." (Isaiah 49:15)
