May 15, 2022

Dear Peace Partners,

On behalf of The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF), I would like to thank you for your two recent donations: USD $4,450 wired on February 23 and USD $6,000 wired on April 4. These incredibly generous donations are being used to help Ukrainians suffering from the war.

The Prem Rawat Foundation has partnered with Cesvi and World Central Kitchen to help people in the following ways:

Partnering with Cesvi:

• Cesvi Foundation has been working to bring support to the population hard hit by the war in Ukraine, with particular attention to people with special needs, such as children, women and the elderly. Working in border towns in Hungary and Romania, Cesvi has been providing shelter and essential needs to refugees. It also continues to assist refugees remaining inside the country.
• Since the beginning of the conflict, about 2,000 tons of humanitarian aid have been provided including: canned and long-life food, water, medicine, hygiene kits, special products and food for children, mattresses, sleeping bags, power generators and power banks for mobile phones.

​
Partnering with World Central Kitchen (WCK):

• As the invasion enters its 3rd month, it's estimated that 11 million people have fled home. In response, WCK has provided over 1.7 million nutritious meals and water to thousands of people at border crossings, shelters, and in refugee camps in 20 cities in Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Moldova.

Below are three quotes from our partners written to everyone helping with the Ukraine Relief Effort:

• "TPRF shares our belief that a plate of food is more than just nourishment; it's hope and a sign that someone cares. Their support will allow us to continue to provide fresh and comforting meals." - Jason Collis, WCK Vice President of Relief
• "Thank you to everyone at TPRF for your generous support. We are honored by your partnership and happy for the help that together we will be able to bring to the field where thousands of people are suffering." - Roberto Vignola, Cesvi Deputy General Manager.
• "I want to thank the world for coming and giving to a country that isn't theirs. We wouldn't be able to do this without all this help." A World Central Kitchen volunteer cook in Ukraine.

Warm regards,

Marci Klein
Development Director
