One Million Meals - YWAM Minneapolis

For the last three year YWAM Minneapolis has been feeding the hungry and malnourished of the world through the "Kid's Against Hunger" international feeding program. They have hosted over 1800 local volunteer food packers in the last 12-months and have sent fortified rice packages to Haiti, Madagascar, and the Philippines. On May 5th they witnessed the one-millionth meal packaged and prepared for shipping.

YWAM Minneapolis have partnered with Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) on the ground in these countries to make sure that meals get the neediest of people. In addition to sending the meals overseas, some of them are also made available to the local community as well for people in need.

You can find out more about the program and how it's gotten local schools and volunteers involved over on their web-site, www.ywam-mn.org.

YWAM Southlands Adelaide - DUO

Do Unto Others, DUO, is a project of YWAM Southlands Adelaide  in partnership with the Salvation Army in the city of Adelaide. It is more than just a name for us, chosen because of Luke 6:31 “Do to others as you would have them do to you”, we feel that this declaration represents our mandate.

Every week the YWAM Adelaide teams run the café from 12am to 5am. They find that this is the perfect time to experience first-hand the transformation happening in the city of Adelaide.

You can find out more about the DUO program on the YWAM Adelaide web-site, www.ywamsa.com.

YWAM Ships Partners with PNG Western Provincial Government

Since YWAM Ships Australia started to visit Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 2010 they have had over 100,000 different contacts with people in the area. This has included services like primary health care, dentistry, optical services, health education initiatives and helping rural health care works, dentists and optical workers in the country. They have focused much of their effort in the Gold and Western Provinces, as well as the National Capital District.

In February YWAM Ships Australia signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Western Provincial Government to help increase and improve the coordination and collaboration of health services and outcomes in the area. With a long term goal to continue serving the people in PNG this is a great opportunity for them to move ahead with that plan.

YWAM Ships - Solar Fridge in PNG

YWAM Ships has been involved in many different projects to help in the Gulf Provinces of Papua New Guinea over the years. Recently some of the engineers attached to the YWAM Ship the M/V Pacific Link were able to help set-up solar power panels at a village health clinic. The clinic will be using the fridge for storing life saving vaccines and medicines, which without the refrigerator would not be able to be stored at the clinic.
