by  •  • 0 Comments

 
It’s been a little over one year since Zija International launched The Zija Miracle Foundation, the company’s charitable arm. Zija recently provided an update on the foundation, including what they’ve been able to accomplish and plans for the future.
The foundation’s name pays tribute to Moringa oleifera—nicknamed nature’s “miracle tree”—which is the basis of Zija International’s flagship Core Nutritionals product line.
The Zija Miracle Foundation began by focusing on helping elderly individuals who have been abandoned, as well as young orphans, near one of Zija’s Moringa oleifera farms in Northern India. Since then, they have been able to provide a number of needed items such as cooking supplies, stoves, bedding, and a 2nd floor expansion, which allows the home to take in and help more individuals.
The partnership in India has also led to other opportunities to serve others in need around the world.
In 2011, the devastating Tohoku earthquake and tsunami shattered lives and communities in Japan. Over three years later, the country is still working to recover from the aftermath.

The Lyoness Open will feature in The Race to Dubai until at least 2019 following a new five year agreement between The European Tour, title sponsor Lyoness and promoter Golf Open Event gmbh.
Next year marks the Austrian tournament’s tenth consecutive staging, having also previously been played each year between 1990 and 1996 when champions included Ryder Cup stars Bernhard Langer, Ronan Rafferty and Paul McGinley. 
As part of the new agreement, the prize fund for the 2015 tournament will be increased by 50 per cent, from €1,000,000 to €1,500,000. The tournament will return to Diamond Country Club, in Atzenbrugg, the host venue since 2010, which is a European Tour Destination as part of The European Tour’s Properties Network, from June 11-14, 2015.
This year, Sweden’s Mikael Lundberg denied home favourite and 2012 champion Bernd Wiesberger a second victory in three years, holing a 40ft birdie putt on the first play-off hole to claim the title. 
Keith Waters, The European Tour’s Chief Operating Officer and Director of International Policy, said: “Since returning the our International Schedule in 2006, the Lyoness Open has developed into an excellent tournament, and it has been an important and valued fixture on our Race to Dubai.
