First Lady of Colombia

From the 4Life News Center:

"4Life executives traveled with the First Lady of Colombia to Puerto Libertador, a remote city in the northern part of the country, to donate 8,500 bags of 4Life Fortify® to children in need.

4Life Chief Operations Officer Danny Lee:

What an unprecedented honor. This donation originated as a result of our offer to support the First Lady of Colombia, María Clemencia Santos in her humanitarian efforts in Colombia. By working under her direction, we’ve made an impact in an area that would otherwise be impossible for us to reach. This event is a testament to the power of partnerships.

4Life representatives Danny Lee, Spanish Field Development Director Deborah Dixon, and General Manager, Colombia Oscar Villabona joined the First Lady’s military convoy in Bogotá to complete the journey via helicopter to Puerto Libertador. Side-by-side with government officials, they distributed 2,200 bags of 4Life Fortify to 400 local families. The local Red Cross received the remainder of the shipment.

President Steve Tew:

Distributors around the world drive the 4Life Fortify program by purchasing product to donate. This event began more than two weeks ago when 8,500 bags of 4Life Fortify departed Norfolk, Virginia, on the Sun Round cargo vessel. The donation is worth more than a quarter million USD—and much more than that, I suspect, to the people whose lives have benefitted in the process.

The vessel’s 40-foot container carried 19 pallets of 440 bags a piece. 4Life Fortify is a high-quality meal of rice, lentils, and beans, along with a nutritional complex of vitamins, minerals, and 4Life Transfer Factor®."

4Life Founder and CEO David Lisonbee:

On behalf of our entire corporate team, we thank the First Lady of Colombia for allowing us to support her in making this donation and we look forward to future partnership opportunities.

Fortify and Costa Rica

From the 4Life News Center:

"4Life distributors teamed up with corporate executives to feed more than 250 children in San Jose, Costa Rica and to donate 168,000 meals of 4Life Fortify. In addition to food, each child received a school kit filled with supplies for the upcoming school year.

The donation took place at a feeding center that distributes more than 5,000 meals every month to impoverished children. The center is operated by Red Viva, a charity organization that supports more than 15 feeding centers throughout Costa Rica.

4Life Fortify is a high-quality meal of rice, lentils, and beans, along with a nutritional complex of vitamins, minerals, and 4Life Transfer Factor®. Since September 2010, 4Life distributors have teamed up with corporate representatives to donate meals to hungry children around the world.

Top-ranking distributors in attendance included International Diamonds Gustavo Adolfo Moreira & Flor De Liz Hidalgo and International Diamond Carlos Herrera Delgado.

4Life distributors and employees are providing opportunities that these families never knew existed,

said Foundation 4Life Director Tracie Kay.

Projects like this are truly improving people’s lives both now, and for generations to come.

Corporate attendees included Chief Financial Officer Mark Ostler and his wife Debbie, Vice President of Accounting Deann Carter, Foundation 4Life Director Tracie Kay, and Human Resources Director Kelli Vallejos. Kelley Tenney, elementary school educator and wife of Senior Vice President of Marketing Trent Tenney, was also onsite to donate her time along with Finance Managers from several 4Life Latin American countries.

Senior Vice President of Marketing Trent Tenney:

The composition of our group of field and corporate volunteers in Costa Rica is a keen reflection of 4Life’s broader culture: we’re in business with family and friends, and the business we’re in offers us opportunities to serve.

4Life has offices on five continents to service a global network of independent distributors through science, success, and service."

4Life Philippines and Fortify

From the 4Life News Center:

"In conjunction with the fifth anniversary of 4Life Philippines, 4Life distributors teamed up with corporate executives to feed more than 150 children in Sun Valley, Paranaque, Manila, Philippines.

4Life Fortify provides a high-quality meal of rice, lentils, and beans, along with a nutritional complex of vitamins, minerals, and 4Life Transfer Factor®. Since launching in September 2010, more than 1.4 million meals have been donated in countries around the world, including Honduras, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Venezuela, Pakistan, and the Philippines.

Fifteen distributors were in attendance, including International Diamonds Frank and Emeline Uy Tesy and International Diamond Evelyn Tactac. Corporate attendees included 4Life President Steve Tew and his wife Sherma, Assistant General Manager Eileen Tan, and Vice President of Communications Calvin Jolley.

I'm overwhelmed with the distributor response to this program, as well as the overwhelming support from our distributors in the Philippines for this event,

said Foundation for Life Director Tracie Kay.

President Steve Tew:

This represents our inaugural 4Life Fortify donation in Asia. It’s an honor to represent our worldwide distributors whose work continues to make our mission of service such a success.

4Life partners with organizations like Feed The Children to distribute 4Life Fortify. Philippines Feed The Children Director Esperanza Abellanawas was also at the event. Feed The Children has reached out to help children and families in 119 countries around the globe and is one of the largest private organizations dedicated to helping those in need."
