Philanthropist Yank Barry recently gave $62,330 worth of rice to earthquake victims in the Philippines. In honor of the philanthropist, Barry was awarded the Gusi Peace Prize for international humanitarianism. His generosity has touched the lives of millions of people around the world. We salute Yank for all that he does for others. Let's explore his humanitarian work. Yank Barry is a Philanthropist As a philanthropist and businessman, Yank Barry has given his name to the charity of his choice. While he has received many letters of commendation from governments and other institutions in developing nations, none of them cited specific donations he had made. One of them even contained a business card from Andre Azoulay, Counselor to His Majesty the King of Morocco. Yet these are not good proof of charitable donations. The Global Village Champions Foundation is one organization that has become the most influential in the world. The organization has delivered more than one billion meals to people in need all over the world. Yank Barry is a humanitarian who has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times. In fact, he visited the Philippines two years ago with boxer Evander Holyfield and later on asked Manny Pacquiao to be an ambassador of his organization. Among the other ambassadors of the organization are Muhammad Ali, Bo Derek, James Wood, and Jon Voight. Fortunately for the Philippines, Yank Barry has not made his charitable efforts a publicity stunt. While he claims to give away millions of meals to hungry people around the world, there are several things that are questionable about his charity. His latest donation of meals to the Philippines has been met with some criticism. The company has been accused of selling food that is contaminated by antibiotics and hormones.

The Global Village Champions Foundation filed its IRS Form 990 in August 2014, and it now owns homes in Bulgaria for Syrian refugees. Yank plans to donate one billion meals to underprivileged children by the end of the year. However, until now, the Global Village Champions Foundation has not received significant amounts of money for this cause. The Global Village Champions Foundation was founded by Barry with Muhammad Ali, who served as its Goodwill Ambassador for 20 years. The Foundation has been donating meals to the Philippines for over two decades and has donated over 100 million documented meals. In the aftermath of Typhoon "Yolanda," Yank Barry donated two million meals and 120 tons of rice to the affected areas. Barry also brought a 40-foot container filled with Vita Pro Food pails. The Global Village Champions Foundation has been praised for its efforts to fight world hunger. The nonprofit organization has also been recognized by CNN, FOX News, and the Huffington Post. Barry's charitable endeavor has been the subject of many articles and has been featured on FOX News. However, it is still unclear how the charity has reached its goal. Its mission is to provide free meals to the hungry worldwide.

It was just last month that Yank Barry, a celebrity photographer and humanitarian, donated $62,330 worth of rice to the earthquake-ravaged Philippines. His donations were widely reported, including a document from the Red Cross Society of China thanking him for his donation of rice. While it's difficult to determine how much of the money donated equated to in terms of food for one billion people, the donation was certainly impressive. While the letter did not cite any specific donations, Yank and his team of volunteers were praised in a public statement by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. The charity Global Village Champions Foundation also provided letters containing the contents of the donated rice, which didn't mention whether Yank was the only donor of the rice. The document does mention water and another letter from Bulgaria confirming the donations. In addition, Yank also posted a letter from the Liberian consulate in Atlanta stating that he had donated $5 million worth of rice to earthquake-stricken Philippines. The charity's website is now live and has several reports thanking Yank for his generous donation of rice and food.
