KAP creator Dr. Glenn Morris spent the last few years of his life working diligently to improve the lives of those affected by both natural disaster and governmental mismanagement, by aligning his work, skills, and awareness-raising efforts with Non-Governmental Organizations providing aid and opportunity to those most affected.
In particular, Dr. Morris worked tirelessly with the Volunteers of America after Hurricane Katrina, often sacrificing his own health, sleep, diet, safety, and income, for the benefit of others.
To keep his compassion alive and active in the material world, we invite his friends, students, and practitioners of his system to help one of the most effective and responsible disaster relief organizations, MercyCorps, as they provide food, shelter, and clean water in areas devastated by disasters natural and man-made. Our latest fundraising page is for the rapidly spreading hunger crisis in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia:
“Imagine a hungry mother or malnourished child. Now multiply that by 10.7 million people. That’s what’s happening in the Horn of Africa right now, affecting people in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya, and threatening to spread.
The region’s worst drought in 60 years is forcing families to walk for days to find food and water. Herds of livestock, many families’ primary source of food and income, have been lost. Farmers are literally watching their crops and livelihoods wither away.
Mercy Corps has dozens of team members on the ground throughout East Africa, rushing immediate assistance to vulnerable families in some of the most remote and worst-affected areas. We’re providing truckloads of water, shipments of food and other critical, lifesaving supplies. While helping communities survive the current drought, we’re also sharing ways farmers can protect the fragile environment so their farms will grow more food for the future..
Your donation will speed immediate relief to drought-affected families and provide tools and resources to protect future growing seasons.”
Thank you.

“Mercy Corps is on the ground in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia, providing lifesaving supplies such as food and water to drought-displaced families, while also helping farmers weather the current crisis, dig wells and grow more food for the future.
Here are some of the specific ways your donations could help:
$500 helps us deliver a truckload of water to a drought-stricken town in northeastern Kenya — enough to meet the needs of up to 650 households for a day.
$150 provides tools and materials to build one latrine in a school, health center or camp for families displaced by the current drought and food crisis.
$32 trains four Ethiopian farmers in improved agricultural techniques that will increase their food production.
$15 provides a safe, clean water source for one student at a school or community center in Somalia.
$14 will vaccinate four cows against disease in Ethiopia.
$6 provides a severely malnourished child in Ethiopia with four servings of fortified food.
Thank you for your support.”
