“A true measure of our humanity lies in how we care for those in need.” Storm Aid is a global, independent, exclusively nonprofit humanitarian foundation, dedicated to assisting and relieving the suffering of the victims of natural disasters, regardless of geographical, ethnic, racial, religious or political concerns or considerations. Storm Aid is assisted in its vital fundraising efforts, having assembled perhaps the world’s finest traditional and new media production and broadcast team. In all its activities, Storm Aid emphasizes the importance of human dignity and the preciousness of every human life, applying the highest ethical standards, while presenting the latest advances, technologies and models, of local, regional and global problem solving, in order to improve conditions, as well as elevate storm victims’ quality of life. The Storm Aid Foundation donates, or “passes through” funds to proven charitable trusts, foundations or other established “on the ground” nonprofit organizations, that are already assisting storm victims, locally, regionally, nationally, or internationally. The Storm Aid brand, mission, executive management and team have been created and assembled, for the purpose of producing an ongoing series of high-profile international fundraising concerts, events, productions and broadcasts, that appeal to the generosity and giving nature of governments, corporations, patrons and individual donors, whose resources assist in meeting the needs of those storm victims dependent upon emergency relief, in the form of basic food, water, clothing, medicine and shelter, for their survival. It is a privilege for the Storm Aid team to serve in such an important capacity, while making every effort to better the lives of those who are most in need.

Quest for Tomorrow, a Multimedia Project that explores the Sacred Wisdom and Healing Practices from Ancient cultures around the world. For centuries aboriginal communities across Latin America lived in perfect harmony with nature and in resonance with the magic of their spirits. It was a time when this part of the world was very much like paradise, as many adventurers have described it. From Cuzco in Peru, to the Lost City in Colombia, to Chichenitzá in Mexico or the myth of El Dorado in Trinidad and the Guyanas, Lake Titicaca in Bolivia and La Tierra del Fuego (The Land of Fire) in Argentina, the region was inhabited by diverse civilizations with ancient knowledge that still remains inexplicable today. However, the colonial expansion of European powers brought “civilization”, relegating these rich cultures to a position of subservience, and changing the continent forever. As the new world began to develop, technology and rationality promised to make daily activities easier and faster. Progress was made by building roads, skyscrapers and thousands of kilometers of cables and communication that promised to unite people. Neglected and abused by the colonizers and the governments, these cultures managed to survive thanks to the power of their past. Quest for Tomorrow (QFT) is a video documentary, eBOOK and website multimedia series that visits various aboriginal sites around the globe. It documents the experiences of the Incas and Mayans of Central and South America, the First Nations of North America, the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain cultures of South Asia, the Sufi mystics and Zoroastrian Sages of Persia, and the Taoist and Shinto masters of the far East, among others. QFT will travel to sacred places and spiritual powerspots around the planet, discovering the beauty of ancient temples, the awe of natural wonders and the personal experiences of the indigenous people who live nearby.
