I have been a pro bono "senior fellow" at PPAF for several years and have witnessed the foundation's evolution. They have moved from being primarily an organizer of conferences into becoming an important facilitator between development projects and business. Much of this work has been done most recently in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

PPAF has had a focus on finding alternative energy solutions for the developing world. From several early conferences of experts at the UN, they have assembled expertise in the field which has helped them to implement their "clean cookstove" initiative which is helping Haiti with a more environmentally healthful alternative to current cookstoves.

In addition, they have enlisted a Haitian-American business group, SimACT, to assist in restoration and economic development of a historically significent town (UNESCO Listed) which has been partially damaged by the earthquake. Projects which have been identified are now in the process of implementation.
