Information
The Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Program may just be the heart and soul of The Hanso Foundation's charitable work: a far-reaching educational initiative designed to teach the basics of sanitation, nutrition and disease prevention to the world. Examples of the program's work volunteer teaching in Rwanda, include Mogadishu Hospital, Conakry Hospital in Guinea, and international aid effort in Ethiopia.
Leading by education and example — and working with local health care providers, growers, and families, The Hanso Foundation is giving hundreds of thousands of people the means by which to live fuller and safer lives. The Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Program exemplifies how the life of man improves with only the simplest of tools.
However, the program and The Hanso Foundation have come under scrutiny for alleged illegal organ harvesting. An article in the Cape Town Inquisitor reported that a raid on a hospital with ties to The Hanso Foundation revealed an illegal organ harvesting program. Some patients found with missing organs were still kept alive in a comatose state. A few days later, the Cape Town Inquisitor issued a retraction, stating The Hanso Foundation no longer has any ties with the hospital in question. It should be noted, however, that the newspaper was bought by the Hanso Group between the hospital raid article and the retraction. The editor of the Cape Town Inquisitor claims he was forced by the Hanso Group to make the retraction and that the same think happened at another Hanso Foundation hospital a year earlier.
Press Releases
THE HANSO FOUNDATION BREAKS GROUND ON ITS HUNDREDTH HOSPITAL IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD
Recording yet another milestone in its worldwide philanthropic efforts, officials of The Hanso Foundation joined local and federal diginitaries in the Gambian capital of Banjul for a ceremony commemorating the start of construction on a new hospital funded by a grant from The Hanso Foundation.
"That The Hanso Foundation can provide the people of The Gambia with a state-of-the-art facility is nothing short of a miracle," declared Gambian Foreign Minister Kanimang Jato. Indeed, the construction of this new hospital will not only provide the residents of The Gambia with the finest healthcare in the world, the construction will also create hundreds of new jobs and stimulate the local economy.
THE HANSO FOUNDATION NAMED PARTNER IN WORLD HEALTH
The Hanso Foundation is pleased to announce that, as a result of the efforts of the Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Program, the Global Welfare Consortium has named the Foundation a Partner in World Health, a status granted only to those organizations at the forefront of the battle to curb the spread of infectious disease.
The Global Welfare Consortium was established in Geneva, Switzerland in 1952 to respond to and anticipate the health needs of an increasingly global society. Current membership stands at 186 nations, with the recent expulsion of several African states due to long-standing charges of ethnic cleansing. While those regimes no longer receive GWC funding, the Consortium continues to work at the local level with private organizations, such as The Hanso Foundation, to provide key medical resources to embattled territories.
While the GWC's primary focus is on the combat of diseases such as SARS, AIDS, and avian flu — infectious, congenital, and degenerative — its mission, standing in alignment with that of The Hanso Foundation, is to bring the citizens of the world to the maximum level of wellness. This indicates not only a state of being free from infirmity or disease, but a point of balance between the emotional, physical, and social states. With 8 regional offices and 150 country offices, the GWC is well poised to quickly react to emergent situations, as well as to maintain high minium health standards globally.
In the GWC's thorough review of The Hanso Foundation's major programs by the regulatory Corporate Compliance Committee, The Hanso Foundation was found to exceed the GWC's standards of corporate excellence in the areas of environmental impact, social outreach, and workplace safety/well-being standards.
Hanso Foundation Communications Director, Hugh McIntyre: "As a Partner in World Health, The Hanso Foundation is now a key private-sector aid to the GWC's ongoing and constantly evolving programs. We are proud to have this distinction bestowed upon us."
The Lost Experience
- Missing Organs: Go to "Active Projects" -> "Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Program" -> "World Map". On the world map, click on the general area of the Bermuda Triangle. The map will point to the Atlantic ocean, between South America and Africa, and blank information boxes will appear. If you hover your mouse over the white box, a grey flickering box will appear. The text is mostly gibberish, but it does contain "13/9/19/19/9/14/7" and "15/18/7/1/14/19". Using A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 and so on, the numerical sequences translate to "missing" and "organs", respectively.
- 'Hospital Raid' News Article: Go to "Active Projects" -> "Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Program" -> "Press Release". Click on the world "miracle" in the press release and enter "heavy water" as the password. Text from Persephone will appear stating, "Free hospitals for the third world? Wow! That's nifty... Ever wonder what the foundation does in these hospitals?" A microfiche of the Cape Town Inquisitor will be shown with an article about a raid on a hospital, with ties to The Hanso Foundation, revealing an illegal organ harvesting program (Image of the article). The article is dated Friday 26th, May 2006. A second article on the microfiche, dated Monday 29th, May 2006, features a retraction for the article (Image of the article). It says The Hanso Foundation issued a statement saying it provided a generous grant to the hospital in question, but the hospital had long since passed into private ownership. Curiously, the Cape Town Inquisitor is now a Hanso Group publication when, only three days before, it was not. Clicking on the highlighted "A Hanso Group publication" will cause a phone to ring. The conversation is between the owner/editor of the Cape Town Inquisitor and Persephone. The man says the Hanso Group bought his newspaper and forced him to make the retraction. He claims to have done some digging and discovered the same thing happened to another Hanso Foundation hospital a year ealier. The man who reported on that hospital died in a supposed car crash.
