                <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="normal" align="justify"><span style="font-weight: normal;" calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:="" calibri;color:#0e101a"=""><font size="3" face="verdana">The Travancore Foundation has come up as one of the
leading non-profit, non-governmental trusts that supports the elderlies
post-retirement and helps them lead a fulfilling life in their list of old age
homes in Kerala. </font></span></p>



<p class="normal" align="justify" style="text-align: left; "><font size="3" style="font-weight: normal;" face="verdana"><span style="font-family:" calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:="" calibri;color:#0e101a"="">You can find detailed information about their list of
old age homes in Kerala on their
official site - </span><span style="font-family:" calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:calibri;="" color:#4a6ee0"="">http://travancorefoundation.com/</span><span style="font-family:" calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:calibri;="" color:#0e101a"="">. </span></font></p>



<p class="normal" align="justify"><span style="font-weight: normal;" calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:="" calibri;color:#0e101a"=""><font size="3" face="verdana">Old age homes have long been at the receiving end of
social stigma and social taboo. It is primarily believed that people serve no
purpose post-retirement and when they get old and frail. This idea is
widespread in India, and hence the elderly are deported to old-age homes. </font></span></p>



<p class="normal" align="justify"><font size="3" style="font-weight: normal;" face="verdana"><span style="font-family:" calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:="" calibri;color:#0e101a"="">The prevalent feeling around old age homes is that they
are the places where the elderlies are left to suffer and die since their near
and dear ones avoid them and have abandoned their company. But the </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-family:" calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:calibri"="">luxury
old age homes in Kerala</span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-family:" calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:calibri;="" color:#0e101a"=""></span></span><span style="font-family:" calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:calibri;="" color:#0e101a"=""> </span><span style="font-family:" calibri","sans-serif";="" mso-fareast-font-family:calibri;color:#0e101a"="">have been a stark contrast
against the sufferings and sadness that reigns supreme in these places.
Generally devoid of the warmth of youth and joyfulness, you would imagine an
old age home to be a place where one waits for their last days. </span></font></p>



<p class="normal" align="justify"><span style="font-weight: normal;" calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:="" calibri;color:#0e101a"=""><font size="3" face="verdana">However, the luxury old age homes in Kerala operating under the auspices of the
Travancore Foundation have a very different sort of philosophy. They believe
that the people who have toiled hard all their lives to give their children and
other dependent family members the life they desire should celebrate old age
post-retirement. Hence, they are looking to demolish the prevalent social taboo
about old-age homes by infusing all kinds of luxurious amenities, fun, and
recreational activities that one can think of. </font></span></p>



<p class="normal" align="justify"><span style="font-weight: normal;" calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:="" calibri;color:#0e101a"=""><font size="3" face="verdana">The elderlies in these luxury old age homes in Kerala get to splurge in their favorite food
items while under the expert supervision of 24*7 doctors, dieticians,
nutritionists, and other health experts who maintain their physical well-being.
Indulging in social activities, group sports, recreational events, and other
communal activities helps foster a bond of friendship that enthuses them and
rekindles their hope of living their lives to the fullest. Apart from indulging
in sports, active nutrition, fun, and games, these elderly people also
experience the joys of independent and assisted living in top-notch quarters
reinforced with state-of-the-art smart technologies to monitor them throughout
the day and offer them care support whenever required. </font></span></p>

He is a seasoned and successful business entrepreneur as well as an indefatigable civic leader. </font></p><p style="text-align: justify; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity:1; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset:var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; margin-top: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: rgb(30, 41, 59);" inter="" var",="" ui-sans-serif,="" system-ui,="" -apple-system,="" blinkmacsystemfont,="" "segoe="" ui",="" roboto,="" "helvetica="" neue",="" arial,="" "noto="" sans",="" sans-serif,="" "apple="" color="" emoji",="" ui="" symbol",="" emoji";="" font-size:="" 17.5px;="" white-space:="" pre-wrap;"=""><font size="3" style="font-weight: normal;" face="verdana">Even during his college years, Johnny's business acumen was obvious. He remembers, "When I was in college, I tried to sell my friends and classmates Philippines-made customized tees. It turned out to be a successful business venture, so I expanded my operations to include Laguna , Quezon, Batangas , Bulacan , and Baguio before becoming its primary distributor."</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity:1; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset:var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; margin-top: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: rgb(30, 41, 59);" inter="" var",="" ui-sans-serif,="" system-ui,="" -apple-system,="" blinkmacsystemfont,="" "segoe="" ui",="" roboto,="" "helvetica="" neue",="" arial,="" "noto="" sans",="" sans-serif,="" "apple="" color="" emoji",="" ui="" symbol",="" emoji";="" font-size:="" 17.5px;="" white-space:="" pre-wrap;"=""><font size="3" style="font-weight: normal;" face="verdana">Johnny's desire to serve his fellow men is matched by his ability to run a business. Johnny was raised seeing his father give financial help to those in need, and as a youngster, he recognized what charity, pakikipag-kapwa, and malasakit meant. But these terms began to have greater significance when he began volunteer work as a young man. He started out providing humanitarian assistance as part of a Civic Action Group before moving on to more significant ventures.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity:1; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset:var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; margin-top: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: rgb(30, 41, 59);" inter="" var",="" ui-sans-serif,="" system-ui,="" -apple-system,="" blinkmacsystemfont,="" "segoe="" ui",="" roboto,="" "helvetica="" neue",="" arial,="" "noto="" sans",="" sans-serif,="" "apple="" color="" emoji",="" ui="" symbol",="" emoji";="" font-size:="" 17.5px;="" white-space:="" pre-wrap;"=""><font size="3" style="font-weight: normal;" face="verdana">Johnny's life has several events that appear to be linked to humanitarian activities, such as firefighting and rescue services. He successfully extinguished his own home from a fire by putting it out quickly before it could spread, resulting in second-degree burns. At age 17, Johnny had received rescue training after determining that previous experience was insufficient.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity:1; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset:var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; margin-top: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: rgb(30, 41, 59);" inter="" var",="" ui-sans-serif,="" system-ui,="" -apple-system,="" blinkmacsystemfont,="" "segoe="" ui",="" roboto,="" "helvetica="" neue",="" arial,="" "noto="" sans",="" sans-serif,="" "apple="" color="" emoji",="" ui="" symbol",="" emoji";="" font-size:="" 17.5px;="" white-space:="" pre-wrap;"=""><font size="3" style="font-weight: normal;" face="verdana">When he was in college, Johnny joined the Rotary Club. In 1989, as a charter member of the Rotaract Club of PSBA Manila under Rotary Club of University District R.I 3810, he was recruited to be the club's president. During his term, he served as President of RAC PSBA and received accolades for being the best club in the District.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity:1; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset:var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; margin-top: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: rgb(30, 41, 59);" inter="" var",="" ui-sans-serif,="" system-ui,="" -apple-system,="" blinkmacsystemfont,="" "segoe="" ui",="" roboto,="" "helvetica="" neue",="" arial,="" "noto="" sans",="" sans-serif,="" "apple="" color="" emoji",="" ui="" symbol",="" emoji";="" font-size:="" 17.5px;="" white-space:="" pre-wrap;"=""><font size="3" style="font-weight: normal;" face="verdana">Johnny has a unique combination of business acumen and a strong desire to help people. In 2017, he gave the Rotary Club of Cubao Center for Excellence in Lanzones Street, Project 2, Anonas, Quezon City a four-story building that is now known as the Johnny Loves Charity Building.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(226,232,240,var(--tw-border-opacity)); --tw-border-opacity:1; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-inset:var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(0,38,234,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; margin-top: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; cursor: text; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: rgb(30, 41, 59);" inter="" var",="" ui-sans-serif,="" system-ui,="" -apple-system,="" blinkmacsystemfont,="" "segoe="" ui",="" roboto,="" "helvetica="" neue",="" arial,="" "noto="" sans",="" sans-serif,="" "apple="" color="" emoji",="" ui="" symbol",="" emoji";="" font-size:="" 17.5px;="" white-space:="" pre-wrap;"=""><font size="3" style="font-weight: normal;" face="verdana">This structure was built to provide the club with a long-term youth development program, including industrial service and leadership training programs.

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>National News -- The Put It In Writing Campaign (PIIW) To Help 600 Families with Estate Planning. The current pandemic has reinforced the idea that estate planning needs immediate attention; as everyone needs to have a strategy for advance planning in their lives. The Reprogramming Institute LLC (TRI) is committed to their pursuit of helping families to put their households in order and has taken it a notch higher with the groundbreaking program of the PUT IT IN WRITING Campaign (PIIW). The goal of the Put It In Writing Campaign is to create new statistics regarding the amount of individuals who want and need to have their wishes legally documented to help clarify comprehensive family matters, especially upon the demise of a relative.</div><div><br></div><div>An old adage is a “Short pencil is better than a long memory” emphasizes the need for putting business affairs in writing; and it is also a known fact if one has their affairs in order it helps to avoid lengthy estate litigation and administration cost and untold hours to rectify estate matters.</div><div><br></div><div>Death is one of the inevitable events in the world. Despite being an unwanted phenomenon; and often unpredictable, the occurrence is certain and usually leaves people devastated. While some have realized the importance of putting their desires down on paper in black and white to ensure that no conflicts arise after they are gone, millions of others have failed in this respect, ultimately leaving the family in chaos upon their death. The Covid-19 pandemic has further brought to bear the importance of putting the necessary documents in order before transitioning to the great beyond. The PIIW team is looking to make a difference with its recently launched campaign in real time.</div><div><br></div><div>The PIIW campaign was created to help participants leverage the expertise of the PUT IT IN WRITING team in creating new generational habits of what it means to offer peace over panic, clarity over chaos and unity over division when it comes to family matters. The goal is to help individuals embrace the subjects of Health Care Proxies, Living Wills, Wills and Trusts; making the conversation relatively comfortable with loved ones.</div><div><br></div><div>The campaign will concentrate on three areas which are to help to protect the mental, financial, and emotional wellbeing of family members following the death of a relative. It will also contribute significantly to helping people plant seeds for generational wealth.</div><div><br></div><div>The team at Put It In Writing has garnered a reputation in this regard and has over 15 years of experience assisting families with putting their households in order and helping families to carry out the wishes of the wishes of their loved ones.</div><div><br></div><div>For more information about the Putting It In Writing Campaign and how to be a part of this movement, visit - www.piiwcampaign.com. The campaign continues across social media, including Facebook and Instagram.</div>]]></content:encoded>

                <description><![CDATA[LaTribuna Christian Publishing Reports On The Need For Bringing The Love and The Compassion of Christ Back Into American Healthcare]]></description>
                <content:encoded><![CDATA[Phoenix, AZ, Sep 19, 2020 -- LaTribuna Christian Publishing’s CEO Chaplain Paul Vescio was recently interviewed on The Gary Baumgarten Report on Sept. 8 where he talked about the need of bringing the love and the compassion of Christ Yeshua back into American healthcare. Chaplain Paul was quoted saying, “Right now patients in nursing homes, care centers and medical rehabs are being separated, isolated and heavily medicated with psych meds and anti-depressants even to the point of losing their mental state of mind. Patients are being starved for attention, compassion, and love. And there it is right there, love, because in the absence of love the human condition dies, we die spiritually, emotionally, and yes even physically, we die a little more with each passing day.”<br><br>Chaplain Paul was also quoted saying, “There needs to be a safe, fair, compassionate pathway to visitation created in American healthcare providers. Love is the medicine we all need in order to have a healthy state of mind, body and soul. We have got to do more in making end of life issues more loving and humane in this country. Its not right that our loved ones, our neighbors, friends, co-workers etc. are having to go it alone when dealing with going to the hospital or having to live in a nursing home or medical rehab. The situation right now is absolutely tragic how these poor suffering people are being treated and, in my opinion, patients are being treated worse than prison inmates and zoo animals. Confining patients to their rooms 24-7 is very cruel and creates a very lonely existence for millions of patients across our nation.”<br><br>Chaplain Paul was also quoted saying, “Right now, in American healthcare end of life issues are horrifying at best. Most patients are having to go it alone without the hands-on support and love of family and Clergy. Patients are dying all alone or at best surrounded by total strangers. There is a better way at least for believers in Christ. Churches investing in buying and building nursing homes, care centers, medical rehabs, and group homes. Then they staff them with compassionate Christian doctors and nurses and staff members. Then the Church encourages the Body of Christ to volunteer in being caregivers and compassionate volunteers.<br><br>Believers in Christ can be trained as Chaplains and then when we enter into end of life issues we can be assured of being lifted up onto glory surrounded by caring, loving compassionate believers in Christ, Now instead of dying all alone we are surrounded by the love of the Body of Christ, now instead of dying filled with loneliness, worry, doubt , fear, anxiety, depression and having our life savings stripped away from us right before our eyes, now we are at peace knowing that God has provided for all our needs. It’s time to put the love and compassion of Christ back in end of life issues for the glory of God.”<br><br>LaTribuna Christian Publishing supports acts of kindness, compassion and love here is the link to Chaplain Paul’s Podcast interview dated Sept. 8th.

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[The European Parliament resolution is a major step in shedding light on the suffering of the refugees stranded in one of the harshest deserts in Algeria for almost 50 years.<br><br>Berlin, Germany., July 14, 2020 -- The diversion of humanitarian aid destined for the refugees in Tindouf camps on the Algerian territory has come back to the forefront in recent days after the revelation by several media and European members of parliament that humanitarian aid has been diverted for decades by the polisario and Algerian authorities.&nbsp; This fraud is continuing despite Covid-19 pandemic. For this reason, on Thursday, a resolution was proposed in the European parliament denouncing the continuation of this fraud and calling for an audit of European aid destined for the Tindouf refugees.<br><br>This resolution recalls a report published in 2015 by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF). This investigative report "noted the diversion of humanitarian aid granted by the European Union to the polisario, in particular was used for the purchase of arms." . Between 1994 and 2004, the plisario/Algeria received 105 million euros in humanitarian aid. The OLAF “ report clearly states that the Polisario leaders systematically and methodically adopt misappropriation of humanitarian aid and accumulate colossal fortunes, and they all have luxury real estate in Spain.<br><br>The European Parliament resolution noted that " Algiers would charge a 5% tax on the humanitarian aid adding that the population held against its will in the Tindouf camps “are suffering the worst abuses” and that their situation is getting worse in view of the coronavirus crisis. What is more, Algeria still refuses to conduct a census as requested by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees since 1977”. Therefore, the resolution calls on the European Union "to work jointly with the United Nations to supervise a census of the refugees in the Tindouf camps in collaboration with the competent authorities in Algeria". The resolution also urges the EU to audit polisario's use of European humanitarian aid since 2015.<br><br>The matter was brought before the European Parliament Committee on Development (DEVE) at a meeting with European Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarcic. Independent investigations and overwhelming testimony have corroborated MEPs' concerns that the fraud continues despite the measures taken by the European Commission. This is a major step in shedding light on the suffering of the refugees stranded in one of the harshest deserts in North Africa for almost 50 years.<br><br>About Friends of Morocco:<br>Friends of Morocco (FOM), active since 1988, is an organisation of Americans and Europeans, mostly returned volunteers, with experience in Morocco with an interest in promoting political, educational, cultural, charitable, social, literary and scientific exchanges between Morocco and the rest of the world.

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Spanish Supreme Court in Madrid has officially revoked the right of Sahrawis born in the Moroccan Sahara after 1975 to claim Spanish nationality. The Madrid court ruled that the Sahara could not legally be considered a part of Spanish sovereign territory during Spanish protectorate of the region.<br><br>Berlin, Germany, June 9, 2020 -- According to the news agency EFE, the Spanish Supreme Court denies the nationality of origin to those born in the Moroccan Sahara when it was a Spanish colony. This decision gave a hard blow to the aspirations of the Sahrawis and their descendants. The plenary of the Civil Chamber of the high court established in a ruling that to have been born in the Sahara before 1975 does not give the right to obtain Spanish nationality of origin, since it cannot be considered a national territory during the period in which it was administered by Madrid.<br><br>Because of the ruling, the Supreme Court withdraws nationality from a Sahrawi person born in 1973 and who applied for nationality at age 36. In order to reach this conclusion, the Supreme Court relied on the two rules that regulated the decolonization process: Law 40/1975, of November 19, issued on the eve of Franco’s death, on decolonization of the Sahara; and Royal Decree 2258/1976, of August 10, on the option of Spanish nationality by the Sahara, in full transition. So, the ruling is the following: those born outside the mainland Spain can NOT be considered Spanish citizens.<br><br>Last week, the Spanish Supreme Court also banned the use of “unofficial” flags or any political expression inside and outside public buildings. This represents a blow to the polisario separatist group as they will not be able to use their flags, ensigns, emblems or any unofficial symbols in buildings and public areas to serve their PR war against Morocco’s territorial integrity. The Polisario separatist group is taking the most recent ruling as another blow to their cause.<br><br>About Friends of Morocco:<br>Friends of Morocco (FOM), active since 1988, is an organisation of Americans and Europeans, mostly returned volunteers, with experience in Morocco with an interest in promoting political, educational, cultural, charitable, social, literary and scientific exchanges between Morocco and the rest of the world.
