A message from Nu Skin:<\/p>\n

[box_light]<\/p>\n

At Nu Skin, we are greatly concerned for the victims of the recent and tragic\u00a0disaster that took place in Thailand. Beginning in late July and continuing for\u00a0over two months, the floods have caused 360 reported deaths, affected over\u00a02.3 million people, and caused damages estimated at up to 6 billion USD as\u00a0of 30 October. The strong flood that hit many provinces in Thailand took\u00a0hundreds of lives and left millions of families without homes and in need of\u00a0help as they try to rebuild their homes.<\/p>\n

The Nu Skin family of Ambassadors, Distributors and employees has\u00a0consistently demonstrated their kindness of spirit by reaching out to the\u00a0victims of tragic calamities all over the world. With the approval from the\u00a0Southeast Asia Children’s Heart Fund Board Committee, the 1% commission\u00a0donations of US$38,076 made by distributor donors in September 2011 will\u00a0be diverted to Thailand to respond to immediate calls for relief goods in\u00a0Thailand. Our Ambassadors, Distributors and staff are, likewise, generously
\ngiving.<\/p>\n

Despite of all local relief efforts, there is still an urgent need for extensive\u00a0long-term solution for the victims of the recent tragedy in Thailand. Through\u00a0your continuous great examples of being a force for good for others, Nu Skin\u00a0would like to announce a VitaMeal 50+10 Matching Program.<\/p>\n

We can do more to help: NTC VitaMeal 50+10 Matching Program<\/p>\n

With the urgent need for food and other products in the disaster areas, we\u00a0would like to announce a 50+10 VitaMeal matching donation program with\u00a0immediate effect until 30 November 2011 and 31 December 2011. For every\u00a0fifty bags (50) of VitaMeal collected by our helpful Ambassadors, Nu Skin\u00a0Enterprises will match with ten (10) bags.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We will work to have all our VitaMeal purchases from November to\u00a0December 2011 to all go to the victims in Thailand. Nu Skin Enterprises\u00a0expresses its appreciation for the goodness of the Nu Skin people, as well as\u00a0their concern and prayers for all the victims in these disaster-stricken areas.<\/p>\n

The mission of Nu Skin Enterprises is centered on being a force for good\u00a0throughout the world by empowering people to improve lives. Everyday, we\u00a0continue to fulfill and live by this commitment.<\/p>\n

We thank you for your help!<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nMelissa Tantoco Quijano

The Nourish the Children initiative is Nu Skin\u2019s solution to provide a consistent\u00a0and growing supply of nourishing food to the world\u2019s most needy children and\u00a0families. This simple concept succeeds by selling a highly nutritious food\u2014\u00a0VitaMeal\u00ae\u2014and then helping people donate their purchases to third-party\u00a0nonprofit organizations that specialize in distributing food to those suffering\u00a0from malnutrition and famine.<\/p>\n

The primary charity partner for Nourish the Children is Feed The Children, one of\u00a0the largest international charities in the United States, which specializes in\u00a0distributing millions of pounds of food each year to families in more than 60\u00a0countries. This charity partner distributes the donated VitaMeal at NO\u00a0ADDITIONAL COSTS and provides regular reports documenting the receipt of food\u00a0by those in need.<\/p>\n

By DONATING PRODUCT RATHER THAN CASH, donors know exactly how their\u00a0contribution is being used and can be assured that their donation is making a\u00a0difference in the lives of children and families. In some countries, donors receive a\u00a0receipt for tax purposes from the charity partner for their in-kind donation of\u00a0VitaMeal.*<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

* This is an in-kind not a cash donation. Furthermore, your donation may be subject\u00a0to\u00a0additional reporting requirements under the Internal Revenue Code. Please\u00a0consult\u00a0your tax advisor regarding the deductibility for your donations and any\u00a0additional\u00a0reporting requirements.<\/p>\n

VitaMeal: More than a Meal<\/h3>\n

Malnourished children are missing KEY NUTRIENTS in their diets, which can hinder\u00a0brain, bone, and immune system development. Most humanitarian food aid is grain,\u00a0such as corn, which may lack certain essential nutrients for HEALTHY\u00a0DEVELOPMENT.<\/p>\n

VitaMeal is SPECIALLY FORMULATED FOR MALNOURISHED CHILDREN* or family\u00a0use\u00a0and produced by Nu Skin \u2014 a company with extensive experience in nutrition.\u00a0Working\u00a0with an expert in child malnutrition in third-world countries, Nu Skin\u00a0developed VitaMeal\u00a0to provide:<\/p>\n

VitaMeal is vegetarian and non-dairy and halal, and allows for the easy addition of\u00a0ingredients to fit every taste and culture. Each VitaMeal package (2.4kg rice and\u00a0lentil meals) contains 30 child-sized meals, or enough food to provide a child with\u00a0one nutritious meal each day for a month.<\/p>\n

Vitameal:
\n\u2022 Contains a balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat and fiber.
\n\u2022 Provides essential fatty acids required for normal brain development,
\nskin health and immune defense.
\n\u2022 Provides electrolytes necessary for maintaining normal fluid balance
\nand muscle function.
\n\u2022 includes 25 essential vitamins and minerals.
\n\u2022 Provides Vitamin a, which is essential for normal sight and
\nimmune functions.
\n\u2022 Provides bone nutrients for normal growth and skeletal development.
\n\u2022 allows for easy addition of ingredients to fit every taste and culture.
\n\u2022 is vegetarian and non-dairy<\/p>\n

Meet The People<\/h3>\n

Virtually every disaster-stricken country in the world has hungry children\u00a0and family members, but Nourish the Children VitaMeal donations are\u00a0delivered\u00a0to places WHERE PEOPLE NEED IT MOST.<\/p>\n

The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation responds not only to malnourished\u00a0children,\u00a0but also to disasters around the world in an effort to provide relief\u00a0for those in need.<\/p>\n

To contribute Vitameal<\/h3>\n

Each Vitameal package (2.4kg rice and lentil meal) costs S$40 only. <\/span>That is\u00a0equivalent\u00a0to saving $1.33 per day for a month! That\u2019s like the price of a\u00a03-piece nugget?<\/p>\n

Each Vitameal bag contains 30 sized meals, or enough food to provide a\u00a0person with one\u00a0nutritious meal each day for a month.<\/p>\n

For the total donations from all donors managed by each Ambassador from 01 November 2011\u00a0to 31 December 2011, Nu Skin matches 10 bags for\u00a0every 50 bags collectively purchased, collected and donated each month.\u00a0All Vitameal bags raised will directly delivered to Thailand\u00a0for these 2 months!<\/p>\n

Together, I hope to raise 1000 bags within these 2 months<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Public are invited to voluntarily donate a portion of their purchases through\u00a0Nourish the\u00a0Children\u00ae to Feed The Children, an independent charitable\u00a0organization that delivers the\u00a0food donations to malnourished children and\u00a0disaster-stricken victims around the world\u00a0without charging a single penny.\u00a0With the continued help of individuals from around the\u00a0world, we will help to\u00a0save Thailand Flood victims. Be a part of the relief effort.<\/p>\n
