MAX GIvES BACK<br />

the mothers all turn at the sound of the mother’s wails. They pale<br />

and gravitate toward her thinking, ‘Thank heavens it’s not my<br />

baby’ then rush back to their own babies when they realize their’s<br />

could be next. At 9:30, our sweet Genesis left and went straight<br />

to heaven. Thank you for all your help and prayers.<br />

“We didn’t save Genesis,” ryan said. “But we did save Ariel.<br />

Since we started this five years ago the death rate of babies in<br />

our little area in Roatan is not big but we affect them and we save<br />

them. You helped us do that. Formula alone helps us save lives<br />

and is what you are doing. You have made a big difference in the<br />

last twelve months.”<br />

Because of donations some children who may not have survived have a chance at life, while water projects provide<br />

running water, schools, teachers and food for an increased opportunity for future success. ryan said that after five years<br />

you can see how their work is paying off.<br />

“You can see a difference in the kids,” ryan said. “They are cleaner, healthier and happier. They are going to school and<br />

have clean water and at least one meal a day. The difference is visible.”<br />

Vice President of sales Bob Kaelin announced that <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> has adopted a mountain in rural Honduras.<br />

Preparations for a water project in a village called El Capitan on <strong>Max</strong>’s mountain are in the works. We have contracted<br />

with the villagers to do the work but it will take $50,000 to provide the supplies and materials to bring water, build a<br />

storage tank and build a school. We got a great start at Elevate 2009, where Associates donated $5,200 and monthly<br />

pledges totaling $18,000. Thank you for your donations and for helping to make a huge difference in the lives of these<br />

people.<br />

If you would like to make a donation you can go directly through Amigos of Honduras at www.amigosofhonduras.<br />

org or mail donations or pledge cards to Amigos of Honduras, 233 North 1250 West Centerville, Utah 84014<br />

or <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong>, 7090 South Union Park Ave, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, UT 84047.<br />

Bob reported on other projects <strong>Max</strong> Associates are helping with. Generous donations of more than $15,000 went toward<br />

buying over 500 books for the School With No Name in Salt Lake, along with 300 pairs of shoes and boots for Salt Lake’s<br />

homeless. The children of Cancun, Mexico received 300 pairs of shoes and school supplies for four elementary schools<br />

were donated.<br />

Bob quoted Winston Churchill who said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” <strong>Max</strong><br />

thanks all of the Associates who continue to contribute to these very worthwhile causes.<br />
