Charitable Giving Program™   The Problems Have Been Well Defined “Mexico City: Immigrants send home less:  The slowing U.S. economy has started to take its toll on Mexico. Cash sent by Mexican workers in the U.S. to families back home in Mexico dropped sharply over the past year, the Mexican government said the reduced cash flow could spur increased immigration to the U.S. “It is a vicious, perverse cycle,” Mexican demographer Juan Manuel Padilla told The Washington Post. “Work opportunities here are nonexistent, so this is going to cause more migration to the United States---even though it is getting harder to find work over there” (The Week, May 2, 2008 issue) The Solution: Project SANA / Instituto para el Desarrollo, is addressing hard economic issues facing the decline in crop production, water and environmental pollution. By using environmentally friendly products family farms are producing greater yields and showing a profit. Many will return to their home land. SHOWCASE Project SANA /INSTITUTO PARA el DESARROLLO  Mexico’s farmers have been the most neglected sector of the population and are the bulk of the millions that legally or illegally have immigrated to the US. Project SANA, aims to bring healing and hope to Mexico’s poorest people and also lessen their desire and need to immigrate to the U.S. usually to overcome desperate conditions of poverty. Project SANA, in cooperation with world-renowned Children’s Network International of Bell, California, will make available to some of the neediest areas in Mexico, fully equipped mini hospitals, as well as help procure medicines at an affordable price point. SANA, which in Spanish means Heal Our Americas, plans to deliver its first unit to a remote area in the state of Veracruz and another one to the northern state of Sinaloa- in the next five months. The SANA hospitals will also serve as centers within the community, to provide health, nutrition and other information designed to educate, empower and equip local citizens.

REPORT ON THE INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT - PROJECT SANA AND ECOWISE’S ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES IN MEXICO By Pedro Da Costa Project SANA/Institute for Development together with the environmental firm Ecowise Mexico, has been actively working in Mexico for the last two years to bring solutions to the serious environmental problems that affect this country. The results of years of neglect regarding the environmental have resulted in the following: Over 50% of Mexico’s water is contaminated Only 22% of Mexico’s residual waters are treated; the rest is discharged directly into rivers, lakes and oceans (i.e. Acapulco, Taxco, Mexico City) In Mexico City, over 4,000 people die each year directly because of inhaling the policyclenes in diesel’s aromatics. In Salamanca, Guanajuato, the pollution from PEMEX refinery, the Electrical Commission Power Plant and other Chemical manufacturers have caused the death of birds, mass death of fish in streams and double the rate of respiratory diseases. 90% of Mexico’s commercial vehicular park consists of older trucks owned by small operators whose vehicles are mostly high contaminating, due to lack of maintenance, poor fuel and age. Tens of thousands of these vehicles come into Mexico City each day and are a major cause of contamination, often polluting 5 to 10 times what a well maintained vehicle would. Widespread corruption at Mexico City’s Smog Stations as well as the EcoGuard patrol units, have made the attempts to lower smog an exercise in futility. Last May, in New York City, Mayor Marcel Ebradt upon receiving two hundred million dollars from the Clinton Global Initiative to clean up the air in the city, promised that Mexico City would be “the greenest in Latin America”. The question is “How?” In Mexico City, smog contingencies force the shutdown of the city to incoming traffic from other states. According to the World Health Organization, Mexico City was named the most polluted large city in the world last year. New emissions limits are making it impossible for millions of vehicles (even newer models) to pass the smog test. (Bimbo alone has 10,000 trucks that will not pass, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and other major fleets face the same problem and are desperate for a solution). Every day 12,000 tons of trash are dumped in Mexico City´s Metropolitan Area landfills and only 20% are recycled, leaving very little space left. Deforestation throughout Mexico is rampant, due to illegal logging and replacing forests with other cultivations, such as avocados (in Michoacan) Hurricane Dean devastated large areas of Central Mexico, destroying hundreds of thousands of hectares of bananas, oranges, mangos and corn, most of which to be exported to Europe and U.S. leaving the poor farmers even more poor and with little or no help. Infectious diseases are rampant in these areas, mostly due to the flooded fields and towns. Lake Valsequillo in the state of Puebla is practically dead, due to the high amounts of contamination, due to the untreated discharges from over 70 municipalities alongside the river Atoyac that comes from Tlaxcala, not to mention the chemicals and  pesticides that factories illegally dump on it. A major cleanup has been approved by the various governments involved, but can the technology due the job? We could keep adding more sad statistics about the horrendous environmental problems, but this is enough to give a panorama of the challenges Mexico faces. SANA and Ecowise’s mission has been to provide effective solutions to environmental problems such as these by introducing in Mexico cutting edge technologies that can make a difference. These are some of the activities and projects: EMISSIONS REDUCTION SANA’s strategic ally, Ecowise,  has secured the rights to the RXP technology, in Mexico, which makes it possible for a liquid catalyst agent (Eco2Plus) to change the molecular structure of any fuel in a combustion chamber of an engine (or open system) by causing what could be called an “implosion” rather than the typical explosion. This decarbonizes the chamber by elevating the temperature at the burn point by over 600 degrees Fahrenheit, burning most of the contaminating gases such as Nox, augmenting torque and improving fuel performance. The product passed the stringiest test protocol for Mexico’ Institute of Petroleum and is being used by major companies on a testing basis. For natural and LP gas applications, the other RXP product, Enviroflame, has achieved excellent results as well and is being used at American Steel Foundry’s Hidalgo plant where it is saving just over 10% of its gas consumption.   Emissions Reduction Program for Mexico City - Both SANA and Ecowise, together with the Alliance of Truckers from México ‘Grand Central Market (over 60,000 trucks a day), the National Polytechnic Institute and other scientists have created in coordination with Mexico City’s Office of the Environment an innovative self-maintenance and regulation program that will benefit thousands of independent truckers (mostly with highly polluting engines) to come under the program that insures that their engines will be within the government’s regulations (using RXP products and other technologies such as the Energizer chip). For the first time, these truckers are realizing that they are losing money on unneeded burnt diesel and heavy fines for contaminating. Furthermore, they are realizing the damage to health they are causing. This program will be soon signed into law by the respective authorities and will become available to any trucker that wants to benefit from being part of it.   The above program of self-regulation has existed for years for the large fleets such as Coca-Cola, Bimbo (largest bakery in the world – owners of Wonder Bread and Orowheat) and others. The program requires that their trucks pass a smog test at 40% less opacity than the norm of 2.0. By doing this they are exempt from the Mexico City rule that keeps older vehicles off the streets once a week. For companies like Coca-Cola with thousands of vehicles coming into Mexico City daily, one day a week meant heavy losses. However, with the new highly stringent regulations (in part due to the mayor’s promise to Mr. Clinton that he would reduce emissions) tens of thousands of these vehicles will not pass the test. THE OPPORTUNITY:  Bimbo has come to the Institute for Development/SANA and Ecowise to find a way to enable their trucks to meet the norm. One truck has been provided for testing of our technologies and Ital Diesel; a very respected diesel mechanic lab will be supervising the tests that will start on September 27, 2007. Other major fleets involving over 100,000 large trucks will be watching with great interest the outcome of what happens with this most respected company (over 30,000 vehicles) and major bakery plants around the world. Another major player interested in Ecowise’s technologies is ADO Bus line, the second largest in the world with over 35,000 vehicles. NATURAL GAS: Ecowise is currently working with over 20 major foundries and major users of natural gas, some of which spen 200 to 400 thousand dollars per month in fuel. They include: Kimberl-Clark, Kraft Foods, Pepsi, Coca-Cola/FEMSA, Grupo Corsa Steel Foundry, American Steel Foundry (Chicago-based Multinational), Holcin-APasco (One of the top five cement makers in the world and number one in Mexico), Colgate-Palmolive and). Tests performed so far have show. BUNKER OIL: The major user of this highly polluting fuel is Mexico’s national power company “Comisión Federal de Electricidad”. Ecowise, with the Institute’s introduction, has been invited to do tests at one of its largest plants that consums 50,000 barrels per day in the highly polluted city of Salamanca.

WATER CLEANUP   The Institute for Development/SANA together with Ecowise has introduced to Mexico the innovative RCTS technology provided by Ionic Water Technologies of Nevada as a solution to the aeration process in Mexico’s underperforming water treatment plants. Tests have been highly successful and the first project is underway at the major plant in the city of Tlaxcala. Estimated energy savings will be around 80%. In addition, Ecowise is proposing that Dr. Tim Atkinson’s water structuring technology be added for greater efficiency.   Eco2Klean: Another unique product that both organizations have introduced to Mexico, in an exclusive arrangement is this product which 100% botanical, biodegradable, non cancerigenous and non-toxic  that safely replaces chlorine as a disinfectant in residual water and can double as an effective flocculating agent instead of aluminum sulphate. The product is also a powerful degreaser that works at the quantic level to dissolve any type of oils or grease – with amazing results.   The goal of this synergy of products and technologies is to produce a new type of water treatment  plant at the National Polytechnic Institute as a national and Latin American Model to follow. This system will greatly reduce the pollution of lakes, streams and oceans, substantially reduce the need for energy which is the main reason why so many plants are not working in Mexico. Furthermore, it can generate substantial carbon credits. The Institute for Development/SANA and Ecowise, in alliance with Air To Water company of California, has been offered 10 major water cleanup projects, involving cities such as Taxco and Acapulco.

ORGANIC AGRICULTURE Ecowise, has also the exclusive rights for Biowash Agro, an amazing plant-based cleaner, similar to Eco2Klean, that has been approved by the US’s EPA for organic farming tests, by the US Navy as a environmentally clean product as well as Southern California Air Quality Board. The product assists in the following: Protects against just about any type of pests, virus or mildew that attacks plants Protects from frost damage Enhances fruit and vegetable size, increasing sugar content Improves yield of crops Makes it possible to have organic production at a very low cost Tests done in Mexico with crops such as corn, agave (tequila plant), strawberries, guava, chile and tomatoes have been nothing short of amazing, prompting  Mexico’s Secretary of Agriculture to show a personal interest in promoting the product for organic farming, namely coffee. Biowash is going through the process of organic certification and is being tested at Mexico’s foremost School of Agriculture, University of Chapingo. Antonio spayed his papaya trees with BioWash and increased papaya production from an average of about one dozen per tree to between 60 and 100 enormous papayas per tree. His projected income from approximate 20 acres exceeds $2 million! Antonio credits BioWash with making him a millionaire.

TRASH TO POWER The Institute for Development/SANA and Ecowise have also introduced IES Solutions of California makers of the most effective trash to power plant in the world (adopted by Los Angeles and Madrid). These plants turn municipal waste at landfills into usable carbon byproducts and into steam that can power turbines that can produce a minimum of 1 Megawatt per day. The owner of Ecatepec (a Mexico City suburb) is facing the emergency crisis of having 2,000 tons of trash per day dumped at his site and has decided that this is the technology he needs. The vice-president of the Dominican Republic, through a referral from the SANA Project work of associates, has also decided to buy 4 of these plants which emit 0 emissions, including furans. Tlaxcala has also decided on having the units installed.

TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE CENTER The Institute for Development – Mexico City’s Ecological Education Department has offered Project SANA five hectares of land in the Ajusco mountain area above Mexico City as well as the use of its conference, to showcase its various environmental technologies and products on a permanent basis. There is no cost involved, except that refurbishing of the facilities will be required. Part of the land will be used for organic gardening demonstrations in which local High School students will participate. EVENTS THAT THE INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT/SANA WILL PARTICIPATE IN Science and Technology Fair – September 2007 at Mexico House of Congress grounds EnviroPro 2007 – October 16 -18 2007 at Mexico City’s World Trade Center.
