   This woman's name is Jessie Chen, a Harvard MBA, and the CEO of Avida Corp. Ms. Chen is also on the executive board of The John Ernest Foundation as a treasurer and is leading a major funding effort for Special Olympics 2007 in Shanghai, on top of taking care of her father.
   
   Ms. Chen travels often to Brazil, Europe and Shanghai. She loves traveling to the Brazilian rainforest although it takes 29 hours one-way, with 4 stops to get there. She has many stories to tell about the Acai berry - the main ingredient of the Avida products. One reason why Acai is so nutritious is the water which sustains it. Amazonian tributary water travels thousands of miles and brings down with it an exceptionally such a high concentration of minerals. Acai berry is fed to new born infants as a substitute for mother's milk and traditionally given to warriors before battle. Tests suggest that the Acai's antioxidant power is 17 times that of red grapes. Antioxidants are the key in preventing chronic illnesses and slowing down aging. Ms. Chen personally takes Avida Essential for proper nutrition and Avida Activate sometimes for energy.
   
   Ms. Chen said it was a very painful two-year process to develop and produce the Avida products, while Avida scientists worked out formulas in the labs and the manufacturing processes in the facility in Brazil. First Avida started out with a local juice. Quickly they found that the nutritional profile of the juice was gone by the time consumers drank it (unstable in a liquid form). Ms. Chen insisted on a stable nutrition product. This can help someone who has cancer and is only able to eat small amounts to still have the proper nutrition necessary to fight cancer. "I had a very selfish motivation because of my father" Ms. Chen said. With her determination and persistence on producing a stable nutrition product, Avida went forward to develop a dry powder with different processing technologies which led to Avida's current nutrition product portfolio - Avida Essential, Avida Activate & Avida Protect.
   
   Under Ms. Chen's leadership, Avida Corp. is growing with tremendous demand for its three products.

   As one of her support efforts to our Abacus members, Ms. Chen has offered to provide one full package of Avida Complete, a $119.99 value, every day, for free.

   It is expected that 10,000 participants will represent 200 countries for 14 days during these games. This is by far the largest effort Special Olympics has undertaken, and is supported by the President of China, who named the venue to be among the top three events in China during the next five years. Jessie Chen, member of the TJEF Americas Board of Governors, has been named to the Mayor of Shanghai's Games Executive Committee staff, as Director of Development. Readily, she draws on the TJEF Treillage for direct and indirect support.
