CLICK HERE for our latest Newsletter In November 2008...David M. Puckett, LPO was chosen from over 3700 world-wide nominees to recieve recognition for his Philanthropic work with PIPO Missions Inc./ Limbs and Braces to Mexico. He was honored as one of ten in the world 2008 CNN Heroes chosen by the CNN Blue Ribbon Committee including Arch- Bishop Desmond Tutu, Magic Johnson, Franklin Graham, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Queen Rania of Jordan and other national and international luminaries. We have, to date received over $80,000 including a $20,000 grant from The Salma Hayek Foundation and an additional grant from the Annenberg Foundation. Much of these funds are being saved to begin construction and/or purchase of the Medical clinic in Chiapas. David was fortunate to have been nominated for and received the 2009 NECO (National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations Foundation) Ellis Island Medal of Honor. This medal was presented to “American citizens of diverse origins who have made exceptional contributions to their communities, their nation, and the world”. He was one of 98 in the world presented this honor along with other very outstanding people such as songwriter/ composer Emilio Estefan (Gloria Estefan’s husband), Mr. John Podesta (Former Pres. Clinton’s Chief of Staff) and three 4 Star Generals from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. "Past Ellis Island Medals of Honor recipients include six Presidents of the United States, Nobel Peace Prize winners, world class athletes, visionary business leaders, medical and health pioneers, artists and others whose work has yielded a measurable and enduring impact on humanity”. Puckett has also been featured on numerous National Christian and Secular Radio shows.This is a platform from which to present the tremendous need for help in S/E Mexico’s poorest regions. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Puckett and PIPO Missions was featured on Univision's "Sabado Gigante" television program on July 11,2009 with Don Francisco. It was a great success!
