M?decins Sans Fronti?res/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is the world's leading independent humanitarian medical relief organization, providing crucial medical care to people affected by war, civil strife, epidemics, natural disasters, and social marginalization.

MSF was the first non-governmental organization to provide emergency medical assistance and to speak out publicly about violations of human rights and humanitarian law.
MSF is a private, nonprofit organization comprised of an international network with offices in 18 countries, including Canada. Each year, more than 2,500 volunteer doctors, nurses, other health professionals, and logistical experts join nearly 20,000 local staff to provide medical care in more than 85 countries around the world.

| O Le Kuka Samoa (Samoa) |
O Le Kuka Samoa is a project under the auspices of the Social and Economic Development area in Samoa. The realization of this project came into being as a way to help the indigenous people of the area regain the use of some valuable traits and resources that had been lost over the years. Its current purpose was to help better the nutritional health of the Samoan people. Through the use of cooking shows, cookbooks, and videos, these tools were used to show the local people how to use local resources and food supplies in the daily preparation of foods. The program has been highly successful and has been able to branch out and gain the attention of many.
