  • Annual Report
    2 0 0 9 YEAR IN REVIEW GLOBUS RELIEF A word from our President Dear Friends, Over the past thirteen years, Globus Relief has flourished into an internationally recognized humanitarian medical resource organization providing aid to hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Our work has been successful because of relationships that have been established on a local, national and international basis with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), local partner charities, corporations, hospitals and governments working to provide access to improved healthcare in over 100 countries throughout the developing world and here at home. Together we have distributed medical equipment and supplies to over 600 partner charities working with healthcare institutions and missions around the world. Globus Relief values resources, accountability, quality, efficiency and credibility with our partners and those we serve and has an aversion to waste. These values have prevented millions of pounds of useable surplus from ending up in landfills and salvage facilities across the United States. This has strengthened our position with many of our long-term partners and gives us the ability to engage in new collaboratives that will be instrumental in adhering to our values as well as the continued success of the vision, mission and operations of Globus Relief. To every stake holder in this organization, our cash donors, product donors, charity partners, corporate partners, volunteers and friends who have put their trust and strength in this very special work, we thank you for your continuing support of our humanitarian efforts in making a difference in the lives of underserved populations. Sincerely, Ash Robinson President, Globus Relief 2 Vision, Mission and Values Vision: We will continually work to improve healthcare.

  • To Download the Cuba House Packet in Its Entirety Click Here
    Dear Colleague: As you begin the important work of the 111th Congress, we write to provide you with information about U.S.-Cuba policy and to offer our resources and our best advice as Congress debates the policy and considers legislation in the year ahead. U.S.-Cuba relations have been at a standstill for many years, but momentum for change is developing. President Obama has pledged to remove travel restrictions on Cuban-Americans, and Secretary of State Clinton told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during her nomination hearing that the Obama Administration will conduct a review of Cuba policy. Important groups that cut across the political spectrum -- including Cuban-Americans, the U.S. business community, leading religious denominations, advocates for human rights, foreign policy specialists and others – all support significant changes in the policy. Public opinion research conducted in 2008 has also documented a growing majority for changing U.S. policy toward Cuba in the Cuban-American community itself. According to a pre-election poll conducted by Florida International University, the majority of Cuban Americans support unrestricted travel and direct bilateral talks between the two countries. Internationally, pressures to change our Cuba policy are growing. In this hemisphere, all of Latin America’s elected leaders, most notably Brazil’s president Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva and Mexico’s president Felipe Calderon, have urged the United States to change its Cuba policy. In Cuba itself, processes of change are underway. Fidel Castro is ailing. His successor and Cuba’s current president, Raul Castro, has begun some modest economic reforms, and has called for direct negotiations with the Obama administration.

In the United States, Hurricane Katrina’s devastation of the Gulf Coast in 2005 spurred a renewed interest in improving U.S disaster management practices. As such, government entities— from the White House and U.S. Senate to state and local emergency preparedness agencies have been considering how to address the deficiencies in the U.S. system exposed by the Katrina experience. Most of this inquiry has drawn upon the United States’ experience with disasters and the traditional United States principles for disaster management, including preparedness, response and recovery. This study looks to contribute to this inquiry by tapping into the rich body of disaster-related experiences from the broader international community.
