Our Diverse Projects Share one
common goal:
improving lives. |
|
|
Around the world
there are those
in need of our
help. Young and
old suffer every
day without
access to good
healthcare. As
individual Agel
Team Members we
can do something
to help. United
we can do much
more.
|
Generous
donations to the
Agel Cares
Foundation make
a direct impact
on many lives.
Together we can
repair smiles,
enhance vision,
and improve
health. We urge
you to give
generously.

Agel
Enterprises donates a percentage
of monthly Ageless sales to the
Agel Cares Foundation and
accepts donations from others
who want to help. In addition,
Agel donates $.01 to Agel Cares
for every Agel Gel Pack tab
received. It may seem small, but
every cent helps make a
difference for someone,
somewhere. For example, for
every 3,000 tabs Agel collects,
Agel Cares helps mend the smile
of one child. For 10,000 tabs,
Agel Cares can buy needed
equipment. |

Thank you for making Agel Cares
your charity of choice. Agel
Cares is already involved in
several great causes designed to
reduce suffering. Our diverse
projects share one common goal,
improving lives. |

Dec 2007 • San Antonio, Texas |
Jann Henry
is a massage
therapist at
the Brook
Medical
Center in
San Antonio,
Texas. Jann
is also an
Agel Team
Member. On
her own,
Jann wanted
to do
something
more to help
the people
she worked
with. So she
started to
donate Agel
products to
military
veterans who
served in
Iraq and
Afghanistan
and who were
now her
patients at
the medical
center.

Sept 2007 • Nigeria |
A
similar
project
was
undertaken
in
Nigeria.
The
Deseret
International
Foundation
determined
that the
only eye
hospital
in
Nigeria
needed
two new
portable
microscopes,
a
portable
defibrillator,
and a
portable
pulse
oximeter.
The Agel
Foundation
came
through
with the
needed
funding,
and now
the new
equipment
is being
used in
Dr. A.O.
Hassan’s
Eye
Foundation
in
Lagos,
Nigeria.
We are
confident
that
there is
no other
program
that
does as
much
good for
the
average
cost of
$25 per
surgery.
By
helping
this
hospital,
Agel is
helping
more
than 200
million
people
in
Nigeria.
But that
is not
all.
Agel
team
members
and
others
have
donated
more
than 500
pairs of
used
eyeglasses.
These
glasses
are
given to
Dr.
Hassan
in
Nigeria
and
Deseret
International
in the
Philippines
for
those
individuals
needing
vision
corrections.
The
doctors
determine
the
prescription
needed
by the
individuals
and then
decide
which
prescription
would
best fit
their
needs
from the
collection
of
glasses
he has
to
offer.
Not
surprisingly,
more
glasses
are
still
needed.

September 2007 • Philippines |
Since
1989,
the
Deseret
International
Foundation,
a
volunteer
based
non-profit
501(c) 3
organization,
has
cultivated
partnerships
with
local
doctors
in an
effort
to
establish
permanent
and
sustainable
healthcare
in
developing
countries.
The
Deseret
Foundation
mission
empowers
and
elevates
local
medical
communities
to reach
out to
people
in need.
The
Deseret
program
assists
the
communities
with
items
they
don’t
have:
supplies,
equipment,
facilities,
screening
and
campaign
infrastructure,
and
where
needed,
training.
Historically,
every
dollar
donated
to
Deseret
International
Foundation
produces
more
than
$100 in
medical
services
to those
in need.
In the
Philippines,
the
Deseret
Foundation
maintains
an
active
artificial
limb
program.
They are
the main
source
of
clubfeet
surgeries.
They do
more eye
work
than any
other
organization,
and they
partner
with the
country’s
leading
cleft
lip and
pallet
surgeons.
In
September
2007,
the Agel
Cares
Foundation
partnered
with the
Deseret
Foundation
to make
a
lasting
difference
in the
lives of
millions.
Through
contributions
to the
Agel
Cares
Foundation,
Agel
President,
Craig
Bradley
and Agel
Chief
Operating
Officer,
Max
Pinegar
presented
more
than
$18,000
to the
Mabuhay
Deseret
Foundation
in
Manila,
Philippines.
The
funds
were
then
used to
purchase
much
needed
equipment,
including
a
portable
microscope,
a
portable
A-scan,
a
portable
pulse
oximeter,
a
portable
cattery,
and a
portable
slit
lamp.
Now
Philippine
children
who were
unable
to
travel
into the
city for
surgeries,
are able
to
receive
cleft
lip/pallet,
clubfeet,
and eye
surgeries
in their
own
areas.
The new
portable
equipment
will
last
five to
six
years
and will
bless
many
lives,
but this
is only
the
beginning.

March 2008 • India |
In March
2008,
Agel
Cares
added
another
great
project.
This
time the
foundation
donated
$15,000
to
Rising
Star
Outreach
in India
through
the
foundation’s
headquarters
in
Atlanta,
Georgia.
Rising
Star is
a micro
loan
fund
helping
families
in
developing
countries
get
started
with
their
own
business.
The
donated
money is
used as
a new
business
loan in
very
small
amounts
starting
around
$100 US
dollars.
With
this
financial
support
and
careful
tutoring
from the
outreach
program,
these
new
businesses
have
grown
quickly
and
become
self-sustaining
enterprises.
The fund
becomes
a
perpetual
fund as
the new
businesses
pay back
the
initial
loan
with a
small
amount
of
interest,
and the
original
fund is
again
intact
to
repeat
the
cycle
with
other
new
businesses.
This
program
has
already
impacted
multiple
families
in
India,
raising
them
from the
ashes of
a
repressed
environment
to an
ongoing,
sustainable
new
lifestyle
with
real
income
from
their
own
efforts.
