| Summary of Direct Charitable Activities | Part IX A | 1. REVOLOVING LOAN FUND (RLF) PROGRAMA revolving loan program has been established in the Dominican Republic. The general program includes agroforestry training and loans to impoverished farmers for agroforestry farm development to enable them to become self-sufficient. Long term loans (6 to 10 years) are made for establishing timber and fruit trees and short term loans (about 1 -3 years) for intercrops. The farmers use the loan proceeds to purchase plants, seeds, fertilizer and other agroforestry supplies as well as for their living expenses while they are working on the farms and the crops are maturing. The loans will be repaid as the crops are harvested and sold. Some of these farmers have begun to harvest their trees and are selling their wood and beginning to repay their loans. The farmers who are interested in the program generally live on their farm land and the soil quality is generally suitable. Eight farmers, all below the poverty level, were selected in 2001 using specific criteria and have received training in agroforestry by an agroforestry technician. The loan procedures are established and part time personnel have been contracted to operate the program. Except for two drought periods, additional farmers have been added each year. The work load per farmer is heaviest in the first couple of years, and then decreases allowing time for new farmers to be trained. A total of 66 farmers have benefited from the program. Twelve of the farmers have repaid their loans and one has defaulted. Farmer's plant eucalyptus, acacia, and mahogany due to the high local demand in addition to various other trees including: bananas, coffee, orange and cacao. The farmers generally grow a large portion of their seedlings in community nurseries established by the foundation. This significantly reduces the cost of establishing their farms. Plans are being made for community nurseries.2. BRAIN RESEARCHThis activity covers research directed towards non-pharmaceutical treatment of currently incurable diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.Part of the study involves medical library research to find low cost symptomatic treatments such as physical and speech therapy, value of exercise and avoidance of obesity. The next level of the research for possible relief of symptoms is by reprogramming the neural system. For example, implanted deep brain stimulators in the sub thalamus neurons. These devices are very expensive and we are investigating non-invasive methods such as bio-feedback and extremely low frequency electrical stimulation.Finally we plan to investigate the stimulation of brain cells to produce natural chemicals which may be neuroprotective. Stimulus possibilities include heat and electromagnetic radiation. Experiments with rats show that exercise stimulates the production of neurotropic factors which slow degeneration and cause the growth of new neurons in the hippocampus, an area in the brain important for Alzheimer's disease. It remains to be determined if this will occur in humans. However exercise can be recommended at this time since it has been shown effective in treating depression which often accompanies neurodegenerative diseases.Biofeedback using EEG and accelerometer signals has been experimented with to reduce tremors associated with Parkinson's disease. In cooperation with a consortium of researchers, new signal processing and display techniques have been investigated for studying tremor. The possible use of tremor data as an indicator of disease progression is also being studied. Preliminary analysis indicates that tremor frequency decreases as Parkinson's disease progresses. We have found that massage has an effect on tremor similar to biofeedback. Both biofeedback and massage seem to produce an "alpha state" in EEG. This state is the opposite of stress or excited state which is known to promote tremor. Experiments with a massage machine have shown little effect on tremor. This is disappointing since available machines would be much more economical than a massage therapist. The study is still continuing and other methods of obtaining the benefits of human touch will be examined. We have found that a combination of heavy exercises (a stationary bicycle and treadmill) and biofeedback allows for the reduction of medication (and resulting side effects) for symptomatic treatment of Parkinson's disease. In one case this reduction has lasted several years but we have not yet isolated the relative contribution of exercise and biofeedback.The individual mentioned in the last paragraph has had other ailments for the last couple of years which led to severe reduction of his exercise. His medication has had to be increased to 400 mg of levo dopa per day from an earlier 200 to 250 mg per day. Massage therapy has continued during this time. This result hints that exercise may be more important than massage (or biofeedback) in slowing symptoms. In cooperation with another foundation, the electrical stimulation of the peripheral nervous system is being studied for reducing tremor and muscle stiffness and pain associated with neurological disorders. Long range plans include using electrical stimulation to mimic part of the effects (e.g. contracting of muscles) of exercise. This is important since persons with more advanced disease have difficulty in exercising. 3. ACCION MEDICA INTEGRAL SAN LUCAS (AMI)The Foundation supports strengthening rural community health in Solona, Guatemala. The grant is designated for training Pastors and lay leaders to address community health issues to prevent diseases and decrease their severity. A medical clinic has been established along with environmental innovations such as latrines and rural stoves. The grant funds are to be expended over the period January 31, 2015 through December 31, 2017. Total grant amount: $87,134.47 |
