Humanity First USA will be holding the annual "Dine for Humanity" fundraising dinner on Sunday, May 20, 2012 at 5:30pm, at the Yorba Linda Community Center in Yorba Linda, California. The events will be raising funds for the Humanity First USA banner programs and disaster relief efforts.

Saad Karamat will be speaking about his recent work in Ghana for the Humanity First Water for Life project. From December 2011 to February 2012, Saad worked with the Humanity First USA and Ghana teams to increase the project’s ownership, maximize its impact and ensure its sustainability. He was awarded a grant from the Clausen Center for International Business and Policy at U.C. Berkeley Haas School of Business to support his work with Humanity First USA. He is a recent graduate of UC Berkeley.

Humanity First volunteer, Kyle Denison Martin will be sharing information about Humanity First's work in Haiti, including the primary school that is currently being constructed. He began volunteering with Humanity First following the catastrophic earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010. Martin teamed with Dr. Clayton Bell to open the doors of primary care clinic in the mountains of South East Haiti. Cloud Medical Forest Clinic provided care for more than 8,000 patients and directed public health projects to improve access to potable water and sanitation in the community. As cholera spread through Haiti, Martin and Dr. Bell worked with Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to open a Cholera Treatment Unit near the clinic. Martin is currently a third-year medical student at the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and also has a Masters in Bioethics, Humanity, and Society, as well as a Masters in Public Health from Michigan State University.
