THERE WERE 101 TEAM MEMBERS TOTAL. IN EL BATEY, DR, THE COMMUNITY CENTER WE BUILT TOGETHER IS BEING USED FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL IS USING THE TWO NEW CLASSROOMS COMPLETED BY FFP TEAMS THIS YEAR. THE COMMUNITY LEADERS HAVE REQUESTED A DAY CARE CENTER BE BUILT SO WOMEN CAN SAFELY LEAVE THEIR CHILDREN WHILE THEY WORK. THEY ARE ALSO HOPING TO PARTNER WITH THE GOVERNMENT TO APPROVE A MEDICAL CLINIC FOR THE AREA AND FFP WOULD FUND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING.IN KENYA, THE NEW CHURCH SANCTUARY WAS FINISHED ALL EXCEPT FOR THE BATHROOMS AND OFFICES. WE FINISHED THEM AND STARTED CONSTRUCTING A NEW BUILDING ON THE CHURCH PROPERTY TO HOUSE A KITCHEN WHERE THEY WILL COOK FOOD FOR 400 STUDENTS STUDYING AT TUMAINI.FFP MEDICAL TEAMS IN THE DR PROVIDED MEDICAL CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN UNDER-SERVED COMMUNITIES. WE PARTNERED WITH LOCAL PHYSICIANS AND THE NATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO ENSURE THE BEST QUALITY CARE FOR PATIENTS AND AN EXPERIENCE OF JOINT LEARNING FOR THE TEAMS. WE SERVED THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS ACROSS MANY COMMUNITIES. CONSULTATIONS AND MEDICINES WERE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, GENDER, RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION, OR NATIONALITY.FFP ORGANIZED A SURGICAL MISSION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HERNIA HELP AT THE MARCELINO VELEZ HOSPITAL IN SANTO DOMINGO, DR. HERNIAS AND HYDROCELES WERE REPAIRED FOR 42 PATIENTS. PATIENTS WERE IDENTIFIED BY FFP MEDICAL TEAMS AND LOCAL PARTNERS. THE FFP DR STAFF DID ALL THE PRE-SURGICAL CONSULTATIONS, LAB WORK, SCHEDULING AND PUBLIC HEALTH PAPERWORK. WE PROVIDED LODGING FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY THE NIGHT BEFORE THE SURGERY, TRANSPORTATION, AND TRANSLATION. THEIR WORK ENABLED THE TEAM TO PERFORM THE SURGERIES FREE OF CHARGE.PATHWAY TO DIGNITY PROGRAM: SOCIAL JUSTICE FOR UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE OF HAITIAN ORIGIN:THIS YEAR THE PROGRAM BEGAN WITH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HAITIAN CONSULATE IN BARAHONA AND HELPED PEOPLE OF HAITIAN DESCENT LIVING IN THE DR TO GET NECESSARY HAITIAN DOCUMENTS. MANY LACKED EVEN A BIRTH CERTIFICATE (BC) FROM HAITI AND THIS HAS A PROFOUND EFFECT ON THEIR LIVES AND THEIR FEELING OF SELF-WORTH. CHILDREN CANNOT GET A BIRTH CERTIFICATE IF THEIR MOTHER DOES NOT HAVE ONE, EVEN WHEN BORN IN THE DR. IN ADDITION, BC'S ARE NEEDED TO GAIN ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND TO GET LEGALLY MARRIED. BIRTH CERTIFICATES ARE A PRE-REQUISITE TO GET A HAITIAN ID CARD. THE ID CARD ENABLES A PERSON TO GET A PHONE PLAN, OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT TO SEND AND RECEIVE MONEY AND IN SOME CASES, GET A LEGITIMATE JOB.HAITIAN ID CARDS ENABLE PEOPLE TO APPLY FOR HAITIAN PASSPORTS AND ULTIMATELY DOMINICAN REPUBLIC VISAS, ALLOWING THEM TO TRAVEL FREELY IN THE DR WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING SUMMARILY DEPORTED. IN 2022, 778 BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND 371 ID CARDS WERE OBTAINED THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIPS. THOUSANDS MORE OF EACH DOCUMENT ARE NEEDED.OTHER COMMUNITY ACTIVITIESHAITI: - WE CONTINUED TO SERVE THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE "HANDICAPPED VILLAGE" (VILAJ CASIMIR) WITH DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD, MONTHLY SUPPLY OF WATER, AND SCHOOL TUITION SUPPORT. THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE NORTHSIDE OF PORT-AU-PRINCE.DOMINICAN REPUBLIC:- WE CONTINUED TO WORK IN EL BATEY AND BATEY ALGODON COMMUNITIES TO BUILD AND REPAIR HOMES. 931753 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 DR HA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 NJ X KENNETH CULVER 9739881484 663 SPRINGFIELD AVE APT 325 BERKELEY HEIGHTS NJ 07922 X FRANK SPERANZA CO-CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 ROSALINA CARDONA MARTINEZ VICE PRESIDENT 5.00 X X 0 0 0 JEFFREY SPRAGENS TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 JOY FOWLER SPRAGENS VICE PRESIDENT 5.00 X X 0 0 0 KENNETH CULVER PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DI 10.00 X X 0 0 0 BETTY JEAN TRUSTEE 3.00 X 0 0 0 BOB BROEZE TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE JONES TRUSTEE 3.00 X 0 0 0 JUDY JONES TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 KELLI REGAN TRUSTEE 5.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT COAPMAN TRUSTEE 3.00 X 0 0 0 WENDY PATCHIN CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 KRISTIN HAMNER DR NATIONAL DIRECTOR 45.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHEL VALENTIN HAITI NATIONAL DIRECTOR 45.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 964120 298375 964120 MISSION TRIP FEES 900099 30972 30972 30972 11155 11155 43070 36629 6441 6441 6441 1012688 30972 0 17596 751788 751788 350 350 15520 15520 12491 12491 2497 2497 18606 18606 24249 24249 4173 4019 154 7959 7959 MISSION TRIPS 157340 157340 BANK FEES 10781 10781 FUNDRAISING 5633 5633 1011387 931753 79634 0 56087 78631 22984 10600 8200 275887 87632 192428 188255 408072 485875 80000 80000 770171 840961 9495 24697 500000 490341 509495 515038 X 260676 325923 260676 325923 770171 840961 1301 69723 -5777 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2071466 926663 645271 530696 964120 5138216 2071466 926663 645271 530696 964120 5138216 5138216 902 173 3626 61 1 4763 10000 10000 5152979 974758 0.99710 0.99750 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 108975 108975 166912 87632 79280 188255 DEPOSIT 80000 80000 ECONOMIC INJURY DISASTER LOAN 490341 490341 X 1076634 69723 69723 1006911 5777 5777 1012688 1011387 0 1011387 0 1011387 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND IS THEREBY EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES ON RELATED INCOME PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(A) OF THE CODE.
