- Your support & contributions enable us to meet the most pressing, basic, human needs of the homeless in our growing US tent cities.
- In June 2023, our group of young research scientists realized that the Summer of 2023 would face a unprecedented, possibly month-long lethal heatwave.
- We immediately organized to collect, assemble and deliver our Pueri Hominum Health, Hygiene and Heat Care kits.
- On November 11th, 2023, Veterans' Day, one of our new volunteers, SriVarun Vungutur, Life Scout, led a rapid action with the help of his scout troop and Scoutmaster Chuck Macgrath and our volunteer team, Collection, Assembly, and Distribution of 100 Heat, Health, and Hygiene Kits in downtown Phoenix, in the homeless tent city called 'the Zone'
Having ready made kits helps the US Border Patrol, police, DHS, cities & communities improve conditions at the border, for the exhausted agents & population and for the exhausted refugees, in our country & streets.
- We also help homeless immigrants, and refugees.
- Children of Men without homes are presently suffering and dying in our streets, under tarps, umbrellas, torn & burnt tents.
- We were able to deliver personally every Sunday hundreds of water bottles, sweet & salty snacks, sunhat, clean socks, refreshing wipes and hygiene supplies for 10 weeks in the 'Zone', a tent city of several thousands unhoused people in downtown Phoenix.
- We were able to meet with hundreds of unhoused people, and talk to them and ask about their needs. Besides water, they were most grateful to get electrolytes such as salty snacks and especially Emergen-C electrolytes packs.
- We were ourselves very grateful we were able to foresee the unusual duration of this historic heat through our STEM training, and to be able to undertake a rapid action within days in June 2023. During July and August, our hometown of Phoenix experienced 57 days - with 53 in a ROW - at more than 110F (43 °).
- Most notably, by July 31st, 2023, our downtown Phoenix has seen more than 5 days in row above 115F (45 °C) ... during a a 31 DAYS stretch of temperatures about 110 F (43°C).
NOTE: These were the temperatures in the shade. On the streets of Phoenix, the asphalt reached 165 F (80°C) and MELTED our SHOES (see our blog below)
... While we could barely handle such radiated heat spending just a few hours with the unhoused, many of them were subjected to such heat 24/7 and clearly utterly exhausted, almost dazed and dehydrated.

Be part of a small but mighty contribution to address the larger dilemnas of our lifetime ... the largest number of refugees and of communities on the move in all of human history ... due to climate catastrophes, and the interconnected of political upheaval & economic collapses. You can be the hand that lifts children of men from despair to hope, from homelessness to a brighter future for all.
