Tabasco Flooding 2007 Appeal

Public Service Announcement- Tabasco Flooding 2007 Appeal







November 5, 2007

In an effort to respond to the needs of the over 800,000 displaced flood victims the recent flooding in the Mexican state of Tabasco, the International Community Foundation (ICF) has initiated a campaign to raise monies to provide safe drinking water and direct aid to reduce the spread of cholera and other waterborne diseases through the foundation’s International Water Emergency Relief Fund which provides immediate relief to communities and victims of natural disasters in need of safe drinking water and health and sanitation systems in Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America.

All donations made to ICF's International Water Emergency Relief Fund will go to benefit the Mexican Red Cross delegations in Tabasco to provide emergency relief to the flooding victims in those states.
Without question, the Tabasco flood is the worst natural disaster in Mexico’s recent history with its long term community based impacts paralleling the 1985 Mexico. So, ICF encourages donors to give generously to those in critical need of assistance.

The Social Capitalist- It is fair to say that there is not a generally accepted definition for Social capital. Some define it as the advantage created by a person's location in a structure of relationships. Portes defines social capital as "something of a cure-all" (Portes, 1998) for all the problems afflicting communities and societies today. In the late 1990s, the concept became highly fashionable, with the World Bank devoting a research program to it, and the concept achieving public awareness through Robert Putnam's 2000 book, Bowling Alone.
