Recently Thirst No More Corporation has focused its attention on the rural regions of Nepal. We received word from our contact, Executive Director of Himalayan Tribal Community Development Nepal’s Raju Bhitrakoti of a desperate need for food for the community.  The main food staples are rice and lentils and both are much needed to sustain life during the recent pandemic that has affected our world. 

In late April 2020, Thirst No More Corporation mounted a campaign to generate funding providing nutrition to the rural areas in the Himalayas. As of May 15, 2020, a total of $1,005 was raised via Facebook donations ($60), website online contributions ($845), and another $100 from crowd-funding source Chuffed out of Australia. So far, $845 has already been used for the purchase of food, with the remaining $160 to be distributed once funds are allocated to Thirst No More Corporation from Facebook and Chuffed.

The generosity of our donors is crucial for Thirst No More Corporation to address the nutritional needs of our friends in Nepal. Through these gifts, we have been able to distribute the following items: (1) 25 kilos of rice, 2 kilos of lentils, 1 liter of cooking oil, and 1 kilo of salt per family. These items will take care of an averaged size family for 1 month.

You can continue supporting these needy families with nutrition by sending your tax-deductible gifts through https://www.thirstnomorecorp.org/donate We will assure that our global neighbors will continue to have food on their tables throughout this pandemic.

Thank you for your support!

Check out our Hey Papi Promotions Network Member Bishop Dr. John-Paul James who made the international news with his participation with the Clafin men's hoops gets $15,000 boost. Here is the recent press release article below. Follow Dr. James on his Total You Integrative Medicine Center website https://www.totalu.org

Claflin received a $15,000 donation from the United Kingdom International Church. From left are the Rev. Hayes Gainey of Orangeburg, UKIC Bishop John Paul James, Claflin President Henry N. Tisdale and Dr. Luonne Rouse of New York.

Claflin University has received a $15,000 donation for its men’s basketball program.

The Rev. Hayes Gainey of Good Shepherd Community Ministries was instrumental in securing the contribution from United Kingdom International Church. Gainey is chaplain for the Claflin team and says he is the program’s “champion.”

“I feel this will be a great asset,” said Gainey, whose ministry is affiliated with Maryland-based United Kingdom International Church.

“One of the things I realized is that Claflin being a private school does not get all the funding needed like large institutions for athletics,” Gainey said. The money can boost recruiting efforts and go for scholarships.

UKIC Bishop John Paul James of Maryland was in Orangeburg Friday to present the $15,000 to Claflin President Henry N. Tisdale.

“This is just a start for us,” James said. “We plan to continue.”

The gift is a combined effort of Total U Medicine Center, Logos Christian College and the United Kingdom International Church, all based in Maryland.

"Historically black colleges and universities are important for us," James said. He wants to see HBCUs add millions and even billions of dollars to their budgets.

"How can we turn a $16-20 million budget to a billion-dollar budget or $2 billion-dollar budget?" James said. Science, technology, medical and research are keys.

"As long as President Tisdale keeps us on the table, we want to contribute toward Claflin," James said.

James said the UKIC’s mission is to improve health and education by connecting the church and the community.

"We thank the United Kingdom International Church for this very generous gift in support of our very deserving student athletes," Claflin President Dr. Henry N. Tisdale said.

Bob J. Nash, a former White House official in Bill Clinton's administration, hosted an awesome reception featuring special guest, Bill Clinton on Thursday, August 4, 2016 from 6pm until 8pm in Mitchellville, Maryland.

Former President Bill Clinton had a lively discussion about his many accomplishments in his administration and its vast diversity. A very supportive crowd cheered as he mentioned his wife's accomplishments as a former first lady, senator and as top diplomat at the State Department. He shared personal stories about his relationships with host Bob Nash and others. His key message was to vote for the person who has the experience and the temperament to get things done for this country--his wife, Hillary Clinton.

County executive Rushern Baker, Senator Mike Miller, Senator Ben Cardin and congressman elect Anthony Brown, were among the elected officials in attendance including Hey Papi Promotions Business Partner/Sponsor President Valencia Campbell of the Prince George's County Drug Policy Coalition (PGCDPC).

The Magi Visits the Messiah

2 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi^[a] from the east came to Jerusalem ² and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

³ When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. ⁴ When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. ⁵ “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

⁷ Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. ⁸ He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”

⁹ After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. ¹⁰ When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. ¹¹ On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. ¹² And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
