Thanks to God has open opportunity, together to make better world. The fruits that everyone can enjoy it. Our friend Steve Forbes gave encouragement about philanthropy and every year host annual Philanthropy Summit Award to shape global forum philanthropist discussion and conversation on giving. I never forget what Steve Forbes said " You can be very successful , if you willing" success like all billionaires leader, rank Forbes stars, Malcolm life time achievement medal "yes , I will, God's will, Steve". I want make better world do something for everyone, for God. 

One of the  2015 summit award winner is Bill Gates who leading Gates foundation and active reduce polio disease rate by global vaccination program. And Warren Buffet who pledging His 85% wealth for Philanthropy.  Both of them and other philanthropist formed and signed Giving Pledge , a campaign to encourage wealthy people to contribute a majority of their wealth to philanthropic causes. Warren advice about philanthropy " Don't just go for safe projects, instead take on the really tough problems" 

We  are optimist, and encouraged by good advice to make better world.  Steve Forbes advice "You can be successful if you are willing". Our Pastor John Avanzini also encourage us " Kingdom of God is like people sowing the seeds". We agree and start to sow the seeds, seeds of philanthropy.  United nation has vision to eradicate poverty on 2030, we also start  partnering with global non profit organization around the world. The Unicef, World Wealth Organization, supporting refugee children. 

On communities we partnering with orphanage, church activity forming team focused to saving lives on orphans, children and old elderly widows life.  The tough challenge problem are extreme poverty and poor health , bad condition water , no electricity in low GDP countries. Hence we partnering with missionaries who has vision to help children, take care orphans around the world. Give aids to disaster victim. 

For each issue they are facing we comes out with innovative idea to fix the lack of energy  with new very efficient solar power panel , lack of water where some student require to find water at remote place, Remote place is different with cities some poorest homeless blind old people living at city doesn't have access for water drink, bath. New idea Jesus home, place shelter to provide water and public bath. New method food bank from place where excess food throw to provide disable elderly and orphans who lives at street.  

As Jesus said in the bible Matthew 25 :29a, "For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance". We optimist and believe to God for His glory, with His power and wisdom to manage The MBMF Benevolent Trust to saving lives, especially old elderly disable people, orphans who has bright future.  We also support Wikimedia foundation as free open platform source of knowledge, provide scholarship.
