Since that time, WWO has established humanitarian programs in Haiti, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Serbia and Vietnam. Two of its major programs are HIV/AIDS treatment programs for orphans in Vietnam and Ethiopia. Other programs include physical/occupational therapy, early intervention, education, global arts and humanities, sports and recreational camps.Now in its sixth year, the WWO Annual Benefit Gala raises thousands of dollars to benefit Dr. Aronson's work.

CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper will be honored and supermodel Heidi Klum and Grammy Award-winning singer Seal will co-host the evening gala, which will feature a special half-hour musical performance by Seal. The 2010 Gala theme is "...reaching out and reaching deep." CNN's Cooper will receive the WWO Honorary Orphan Ranger award in recognition of his in-depth reporting on Haiti and outstanding coverage of Haiti's orphaned and vulnerable children in the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquake that rocked the island on January 2010."WWO is proud to honor Anderson Cooper for shining the spotlight for the world on the devastating impact of Haiti's earthquake on orphaned and vulnerable children," said Dr. Jane Aronson, founder and CEO of WWO. "I first met Anderson Cooper in Haiti following the earthquake and was impressed then and continue to be impressed now, with the depth of knowledge and thought he brings to every issue he covers."Special Guests attending the star-studded gala will include: actors Deborra-lee Furness and Hugh Jackman; actress Brooke Smith & Steven Lubensky; fashion publicist Desiree Gruber and actor Kyle MacLachlan; Broadway director Kathleen Marshall & Scott Landis; and actress Donna Murphy & Shawn Elliot.
