</div><div class="article_text article_paragraph0 google_elide"> <em>BRADENTON</em> - In a 30-year music career, Yank Barry jammed on stage with Jimi Hendrix, wrote and produced songs for Gary U.S. Bonds and was a member of legendary band The Kingsmen of "Louie, Louie" fame.<br />
<br />
</div><div class="pagpag1" style="display: block;">The post-music career for the part-time Bradenton resident has been equally spectacular: he co-founded a nonprofit group with Muhammad Ali that has donated more than 500 million meals to relief agencies; and he spearheaded relief missions to disaster and war-torn countries.</div><div class="pagpag1" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag1" style="display: block;">Now, the 64-year-old has been nominated for the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work and his role in securing the release of six foreign medical workers sentenced to death in Libya.</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;">Barry said he was nominated by Kiril Gorianov, a Bulgarian national. Gorianov cited Barry for his humanitarian work but also for his efforts to secure the release of five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor who faced the death penalty after a court found them guilty of spreading the HIV virus after an 1998 outbreak in a Libyan hospital.</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;">Barry met with Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi about half a dozen times over a period of six months in 2006. "I said to him, 'I'm Jewish and I'm here begging for the lives of five Christians and a Palestinian. You've got to do the right thing here,'" Barry said.</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;"> Barry said there were many other international efforts that led to the six being released in 2007. </div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag1" style="display: block;">Speaking from Japan, where he is negotiating with government officials to supply apple pectin to people who may have been exposed to radiation from the nuclear accident at Fukushima, Barry said it was humbling that his relief work has been acknowledged.</div><div class="pagpag1" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag1" style="display: block;">"It's a nice feeling to be recognized, but that's not why I'm doing it," he said. "It's become a mission that I believe in."</div><div class="pagpag1" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag1" style="display: block;">First awarded in 1901, the Nobel Prize for Peace is widely regarded to be the most prestigious award of its kind.</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;">Born in Montreal, Barry became a touring member of The Kingsmen in 1968. He pioneered the first quadraphonic album in 1970 and then then recorded the rock opera "The Diary of Mr. Gray."</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;">He later moved into songwriting and production, working with numerous artists, including Englebert Humperdinck.</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;">As his music career was scaling down, he met a businessman in South Africa who had developed a dehydrated meat-substitute soy product. Barry bought the product and began selling it to penal systems and governments. The business thrived.</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;">As Barry traveled the world, he saw firsthand how his product could help countries struggling with malnutrition. With boxing great Muhammad Ali, he formed Global Village Champions Foundation. Barry now donates about 60 percent of the profits from his soy company to the nonprofit, using it for donated meals and work with groups like the Salvation Army in the United States and the Red Cross and the United Nations in Africa, Asia, Europe and Central America.</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;">"Ali and I had always talked about feeding kids. We started doing a lot of good; it become pretty addictive," he said. It's a great feeling. I think everyone should do it."</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;"><br />
</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;">Barry's work has already earned him more than 20 international humanitarian and peace awards including a 1999 Liberian Humanitarian award and the 2010 Gusi Peace Prize. In 2005, he was named as a Red Cross Humanitarian.</div><div class="pagpag2" style="display: block;"><br />

<br />
For those that do not know who this extraordinary man is I wrote a post about him here: <a href="http://adaywithouthunger.blogspot.com/2010/11/meet-champions-yank-barry.html">Bio</a><br />
<br />
So much has happened since I wrote his story. Yank is tireless in his determination to see that no child goes to bed hungry no matter where they are in the world. Our Foundation does not discriminate because of politics, race or geographical location.<br />
<br />
In this past year millions of meals have been fed to people in the USA, Japan, Thailand, Mexico, The Philippines, Poland and Haiti. Because of Yank's generosity the Foundation has also donated thousands of dollars to agencies that are working in countries that have suffered natural disasters, for example Turkey, Japan and Africa. For a complete list of agencies that we have financially supported: <a href="http://www.gogvm.com/difference.php">Making a Difference</a><br />
<br />
I simply wanted to thank this special man, and wish him a very Happy Birthday! Your Rock Yank!<br />

<br />
During their stay Muhammad had a craving for a taste of home. Early one morning around 7 am, Muhammad wanted to go to McDonald's Restaurant. It was approximately one block from the Hilton Hotel, but as you can probably guess, he cannot go anywhere without attracting a crowd. The main concern was that he did not have his body guards with him, but he would not be deterred.<br />
<br />
Yank, Muhammad and another friend left the hotel and in no time three people turned into seven, and then seven turned into fifteen as the realization hit that Muhammad Ali was out for a stroll. It was a very busy street and one guy jumped out of his car, leaving it in the street and started following Muhammad with the rest of the crowd. By the time they got to McDonald's it was a mob scene! <br />
<br />
Muhammad made his way to the counter and ordered an Egg Mcmuffin and coffee and turned to Yank and said "What do you want?" then turned to their other friend and asked him "What do you want?" They both answered "We will have the same!" At this point Muhammad turns to Yank and says "You got alot of money on you?" Yank says sure and Muhammad shouts out "Breakfast for Everyone" Muhammad treated everyone in the restaurant including the staff behind the counter. By this time the restaurant was jammed with over 100 people.<br />
<br />
When the bill came it was over $180.00 and Yank was only carrying $130.00. This took place several years ago so there were no debit machines nor ATM's and they did not take credit cards like they do today. Yank had to find a kiosk bank to withdraw $50.00 to pay the bill. Meanwhile the mob in the restaurant was overjoyed to be sharing their breakfast with "The Greatest"<br />
<br />
Right place, right time! A memory that these lucky folks will never forget!<br />

</tbody></table><br />
There is more to the story. The following afternoon Muhammad wants to go for a walk and again no security with them. Yank and Muhammad and another friend were walking behind the hotel and they had lagged behind Yank All of a sudden Yank is surrounded by 4 or 5 big guys who came out of nowhere and said to Yank "hey where are you going boy?" Yank can see Muhammad and his friend and Muhammad can see what is happening to Yank. The would be robbers, were focusing on Yank and didn't see Muhammad Ali. One of them says to Yank, " give us all of your money, give us your watch" Yank calls out ....MUHAMMAD...and Muhammad pretends he doesn't hear him. Nothing happens so Yank reaches into his pocket because these guys were going to beat him up. As Yank pulled his money out Muhammad and their friend walk over one of the robbers looks up and goes "Muhammad Ali" Muhammad looks back at the thug and says "this is my friend". Needless to say, Yank kept his wallet and watch!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Yank and Ali have been close friends for decades and have provided over 550 million meals to feed the hungry. Ali's celebrity has paved the way for Global Village Champions Foundation to deliver food even in war torn areas. As you can imagine, not a shot was fired while Yank and Muhammad delivered badly needed food and medical supplies. Where ever they were asked to go to help, especially when children were concerned they went. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

He traveled the globe for decades as the Official Ambassador to our non-profit foundation "Global Village Champions Foundation". <br />
<br />
Respect, Confidence, Conviction, Dedication, Giving, and Spirituality are Muhammad Ali's core values. These six tenets have provided the foundation for a life that has touched millions of people around the World and has earned Ali the title<b> "The Greatest"</b>. <br />
<br />
Ali's legacy is much more than just three Heavyweight Championship Belts and an Olympic Gold Medal. As a Global Village Champion Muhammad Ali, along with his close friend Yank Barry, has been instrumental in providing over 555,000,000 meals to the hungry over the past 20 years. They traveled to areas of the world that were not only some of the poorest, but some of the most dangerous. Where Mohammad went, so to did the press. This allowed him to enter into regions that were denied to many and allowed us to deliver the food, water and medical supplies directly to the people in need.<br />

Ali traveled to many inhospitable regions of the World as a Global Village Champion and personally accompanied the shipments of food, medical supplies, clothing, school supplies and hope. This demonstration of selfless humanitarian leadership is a key reason that The Leaders Magazine and the American Leadership Development Association chose to bestow their Lifetime Achievement Award upon Muhammad Ali during the 2011 GLA Awards in Kuala Lumpur this past July. Muhammad was not able to attend the awards ceremony. Lonnie Ali, Muhammad's wife, asked his friend and fellow award recipient Yank Barry to accept the award on his behalf. Mr. Barry presented the award to Ali in the presence of 350 invited guests who had gathered at the Ali Center in Louisville Kentucky to celebrate Muhammad Ali's 70th birthday.<br />

If you knew that the $10.00 not only feeds a hungry child but that it fosters hope for the future, would you become apart of a caring community. If you knew that your membership fee supports an orphanage in Haiti, would you join. Global Village Champions Foundation and Yank Barry have adopted the entire orphanage and the children are thriving with our support. <br />

For almost 20 years philanthropist Yank Barry and his close personal friend Muhammad Ali have been quietly travelling the globe taking food to children in dire circumstances. The Foundation has been private until 2010 and food and funding has been provided by Yank and his many caring friends, many of them celebrities and many of them have Become <a href="http://www.gogvm.com/champions.php">Global Village Champions</a> <br />

<br />
<br />
Global Village Champions Foundation not only has delivered over 526 Million Meals to people in need, we are also first responders to many of the world's natural disasters, with critical medical, water and food supplies. We have established strong partnerships with many other charitable organizations including Care, The Rotary, Red Cross, The Salvation Army, Doctors Without Borders and many more. <br />
<h2 style="margin-left: 17px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left;">Timeline of Relief Effort</h2><a href="http://www.gogvm.com/food_report.php" style="margin-left: 17px;">Food Distribution Field Reports</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So Why a Members Campaign? We are committed to building a community of individuals from around the world. That is one reason why we kept the annual fee to $10.00. We wanted to encourage people from all economic backgrounds to become involved, to be a part of the solution, to know that there participation goes beyond a financial contribution.<br />
<br />
With the many devastating natural disasters that the world has endured in the last few years you never know when you will be the person asking for help. Many times "Villagers" (as we are called) will reach out to let us know of a situation in their own community that could use help. A recent example came from a Villager in Alabama. He contacted us to let us know how critical things were in Alabama after the devastating tornadoes and that there was no access to drinking water. Partnering with the Salvation Army in Birmingham we bought all available bottled water we could locate and delivered 9200 bottles to them, along with energy bars and canned food. Yank Barry jumped on a plane and went to survey the damage himself to see what other help we could give to the region. <br />

So where do you come in, there is power in a Social Crowd. A group of dedicated friends can raise thousands for charities and if a gaming element was added. such as Empire Avenue it has been demonstrated the tremendous power to affect someone’s actions by providing game-style achievements. The charitable and game motivations combined can certainly change the world in a very positive manner. <br />
<br />
To help increase our members base a group of Empire Avenue Participants have generously pledged (to buy shares) their eaves to anyone who joins our community. Below is a chart of those that have become members as well as those that have pledged their eaves. When you buy shares in those that are members would you kindly use the hashtags: #ADayWithoutHunger and #EAv4Good - this will let the person know that you are honouring your pledge. <br />
<br />

Cook is now a "Champion" for <a href="http://www.adaywithouthunger.com/">Global Village</a>, an international group working with other volunteer and non-government organisations to feed poverty-stricken people around the world. <br />
It is another recent accolade for Cook, a self-managed, independent country crossover musician. Together with Nelson race walker Nyle Sutherland, she is among the 25 national finalists for this year's Next Magazine New Zealand Woman of the Year Awards. <br />
Global Village, in existence for 18 years, counts 42 "champions" as public supporters, and Cook is the first New Zealander to become one. <br />
She was in illustrious company, she said. "They choose people who are different kinds of figureheads for different reasons. It's a small organisation that works as a team providing support for meals and helping out wherever possible. They do a good job of feeding millions of children." <br />
Her role was to raise awareness, and she said it was her skill with social networking that landed her the job. She's now charged with spreading the word about the charity online. "It's an honour and I'm there to help in my way." <br />
Cook has thousands of international contacts on social-network platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and fan fundraising sites such as Sellaband. Through them, she raised US$20,000 in four months to pay for her album Brand New Day. "That's the thing with social networking now. <br />
"You can become more of an entity online than people around you realise. You start to become powerful when you post something and it reaches thousands of people instantly." <br />
Because of her success in crowd-sourcing funds, Cook has become something of a media maven on the topic. She was recently invited to speak at a seminar on social networking for artists when she performs at the Canberra Country Music Festival in November, passing on her tips to others. <br />
Cook has also recently contributed to a CD fundraising for the Christchurch earthquake, We Will Rise Again, that has garnered $9000 for Red Cross. <br />

That means one in seven people do not get enough food to be healthy and lead an active life. Hunger and malnutrition are in fact the number one risk to the health worldwide — greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.</span></b></span></h2><div class="cp_tile "><div class="callout_text"><div class="callout_content callout"><br />
Among the key causes of hunger are natural disasters, conflict, poverty, poor agricultural infrastructure and over-exploitation of the environment. Recently, financial and economic</div></div></div></div><div class="col320"><div class="cp_tile "><div class="callout_text"><div class="callout_content callout">crises have pushed more people into hunger.<br />
<br />
As well as the obvious sort of hunger resulting from an empty stomach, there is also the hidden hunger of micronutrient deficiencies which make people susceptible to infectious diseases, impair physical and mental development, reduce their labour productivity and increase the risk of premature death.<br />
<br />
Hunger does not only weigh on the individual. It also imposes a crushing economic burden on the developing world. Economists estimate that every child whose physical and mental development is </div></div></div></div>stunted by hunger and malnutrition stands to lose 5-10 percent in lifetime earnings.<br />
<br />
Among the Millennium Development Goals which the United Nations has set for the 21st century, halving the proportion of hungry people in the world is top of the list. Whereas good progress was made in reducing chronic hunger in the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s, hunger has been slowly but steadily rising for the past decade.

<br />
Yank Barry, founder and Chairman of Global Village Champions believes in complete transparency and documents all food deliveries with bills of lading to ensure that the Vita Pro food goes directly to the humanitarian agencies that we partner with and ultimately to the people in need. We have developed trusting strategic NGO partners around the Globe and in times of crisis we make substantial donations to these organizations in order to be first responders with food, water and medical supplies.<br />

Global Village Champions Foundation and Yank Barry have just made a substantial financial donation to agencies that are directly working on the ground in the Horn of Africa: The International Red Cross, The International Medical Core and The Humanitarian Coalition which includes Care Canada, Oxfam Canada and Save the Children Canada. To view a complete list of the letters and or receipts for our most recent substantial donations <a href="http://www.gogvm.com/difference.php">Visit Our Making a Difference Page </a><br />
<br />
Global Village Champions Foundation is looking to increase it's Global Members and we launched our <a href="http://www.gogvm.com/102.html">Summer Membership Drive</a> We chose to offer a membership drive as opposed to a straight-up contest or a raffle because we recognize that true givers like to belong. There are many people who have given 5 or 10 dollars to the Red Cross or the Salvation Army and almost immediately say out loud, "I wish I could do more."<br />
<br />
Money raised will go directly to feeding children around the globe, whether it be an orphanage in Haiti that we have adopted, the children in a cancer hospice in the Philipinnes or responding with immediate aid in a natural disaster. The Foundation has kept very strict records and to date we have fed of 500 million people around the globe. With your help we will reach our goal of 1 Billion people fed by December 31st, 2013.<br />

Our current membership drive has a very specific focus, boxing. There are many reasons for this and one of them is that a number of World Champion boxers are Global Village Champions. They care about Yank Barry's determined effort to create A Day Without Hunger. The fan base for boxing is World Wide. Now let's face it, not everyone loves the sport. We knew that going in. The thing is, the new members don't have to love boxing in order to catch the vision of delivering meals to people in need. Even if the new member who wins a trip to Las Vegas with us do not love boxing, they can still take a fabulous trip, for FREE, and meet the team from around the World. Global Village Champions is a registered charity but we do not solicit donations from anyone including the members. <br />

Despite the urgency of the situation, most world leaders are responding too slowly. Immediate aid is essential. Yet at the same time we must not let them drop the ball on long term solutions as has too often happened in the past.<br />

<b>Bono:</b> <i>“It’s hard to believe that this is the 21st century and you know we mustn’t let the complexity of the situation absolve us from responsibility to act. That’s really the message … When you hear stories, and as you’ve reported, of women leaving their dead children on the road to come beg for food, to choose between children, can you imagine? ‘I have to leave this one, he looks the weakest or she looks the weakest, I’ll take this one.’ This is outrageous! This can’t be happening, it must be stopped. And it’s not our intentions, it’s our actions. It’s not the possibilities of the United Nations or the AU, it’s our priorities that define us. This is a defining moment.”</i><br />

We felt it was important for you to know what we have accomplished this past year with the help of Champions and members from all around the world. The world has seen some of the worst natural disasters in a generation and our Global village Champions Foundation has mobilized our resources and NGO partners to provide immediate provisions including water, food, medical supplies and basic necessities.<br />
<br />
January 2010 - Devastating Earthquake Haiti<br />
Global Village Champions chartered a private plane and was delivering aid to Haiti within three days of the quake and we flew 7 planeloads of water, food, medical supplies into Haiti in the weeks just following the earthquake. Working with our partners, The Bahama's Red Cross and The Haitian Rotary and the UN we were able to deliver the needed supplies directly to those in need.<br />

Our goal is to see A Day Without Hunger by December 31st. 2013. To that end we have already delivered <a href="http://www.gogvm.com/">492 Million Meals</a> towards our goal of 1 Billion Meals.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I wish, said the emperor, that my people always be protected from famine. And God gave him a soybean" (Chinese legend).</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We thought you might like to be informed of the type of nutritious meals that we donate to countries around the globe. In 2011 Global Village Champions Foundation has delivered disaster relief in the form of meals to Haiti, The Philippines, Japan, Thailand and Alabama in the southern States. In addition to Vita Pro meals we supply rice and beans, water, medical supplies and basic needs. </div><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The food that Global Village Champions Foundation delivers is a soy based meat protein replacement called Vita Pro. Vita Pro was not just born from the desire to replace meat protein with a much healthier vegetable protein, VitaPro is the culmination of years of research into a produce that would be able stable in all environments, as well as easily prepared and distributed in relief situations. </span></span><br />
<br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"><u><i><b>VitaPro is one of the main products used in disaster relief situations around the world. </b></i></u></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" height="15" src="http://www.vitapro.com/images/pixel.gif" width="1" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">According to the Pasteur Institute of Lille:</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Soya's components have nutritional properties which allow soya-based food products to play a favourable role in a balanced diet. They help us to approach the nutritional recommendations. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The soybean is a food which belongs to the origins and to the future of humanity. It is the food of the future.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">VitaPro is a particular presentation of soybeans transformed by a well-developed texturing technology. Among the ingredients are soya flour and textured soya proteins. There are two versions of VitaPro: beef-flavoured and chicken-flavoured . With these two flavours, VitaPro is positioned as a meat substitute.
