Internet site now also in English
The publicity that the presentation at Glocal Affairs in Maastricht and the subsequent television broadcast in “Netwerk” generated, led to a sharp increase in the number of visitors of the website, from far outside Europe. Our statistics show that there is a great need for a multilingual website. People in about 88 countries across the world visited our website. IRFAK stands for an open and honest communication with both suppliers of body fat and with the customers. We find it extremely important that our information is as clear as possible to people who want to know more about IRFAK. Translations in other languages will follow in the course of next year. We are planning a Spanish website for mid January.
Large increase in registrations for body fat donation
IRFAK is also very pleased to see an increasing number of people wanting to exchange their fat for food. Our business partner Van Gerven &Van Iersel, the clinic that performs liposuctions in a responsible way, has a steadily growing waiting-list. Human fat to food recycling is actually the new business that puts food issues into a broader perception worldwide. Even without the prospect of a free liposuction people are willing to donate their fat for food.
The amount of donations of fatty tissue is now at 55 percent, as opposed to the applications for a free liposuction which thus add up to 45 percent.
Based on this data it is clear that the unequal distribution of world food is recognized by many people and many want to cooperate to share their wealth with the poor. We feel encouraged in our mission; the company is on the right track.
IRFAK remains committed to a world where sufficient and healthy food is available to everyone.
IRFAK wishes everyone a nutrive and healthy 2009!

The Dutch television program Netwerk has made recordings of the company presentation at Glocal Affairs in Maastricht. It will be broadcasted on Wednesday 26-11-2008, Netherlands 2, from 20.25 hours. More information on www.netwerk.tv.
Significantly more visitors IRFAK Web site after TV broadcast L1
The broadcaster Limburger L1 recently had sent a TV advertising spot of IRFAK. The IRFAK website statistics show that the number of visitors a week after it broadcast increased with more than 70 percent. The site attracts international interest: visitors are coming from several regions around the globe, for example the Netherlands, Belgium, North America and Kenya.
Delay first transport of food to Burma
A trade delegation from IRFAK in Burma has held talks with the Minister of Commerce Major General Tin Naing Thein. The minister stated that his government still has no unified position on the issue of supply. We regret this very much. New talks are scheduled in January 2009. IRFAK hopes that the contracts will still be closed in February 2009 so that food aid actually can be delivered.
IRFAK remains committed to a world where sufficient and healthy food is accessible to everyone.
The IRFAK company presentation in Maastricht can still be seen up to November 30. As

IRFAK on regional TV Limburg L1
Wednesday, November 12 was on the Limburg TV station L1 our first advert to see. These detached many responses. There are both notifications for donation, or winning a free liposuction received. IRFAK received also comments in which the ethical side of the business IRFAK has been brought up for discussion.
The advertising spot is still visible via the Internet at:
