Welcome Off the Mat!

In sub-Saharan Africa, 11.6 Million children have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS and 1.8 Million children have HIV/AIDS themselves. 42 million children do not have access to basic needs---clean water, healthy food, or education.

You & I can help.

I am teaming with Off the Mat, Into the World to help African children infected/orphaned/affected by HIV/AIDs. I am raising $20,000 & traveling to Africa in February 2010 to work with these children.

With your help, we will provide:

COMFORT: We will buy new mattresses, water filtration system, and supplies for New Hope School and Orphanage, home to 350 HIV orphans.

EDUCATION: We will purchase land and construct a school for 325 children with Building Tomorrow and local villagers.

PREVENTION: With Shanti Uganda, we will build a birthing/vocational center for HIV mothers to prevent mother-to-child-transmission to babies.

PROTECTION: With YouthAIDS we will work to educate youth and prevent further future spread of HIV/AIDs.

Please DONATE to this worthy cause today!

This Sunday afternoon, my long-time yoga teacher, Ann Merlo is teaching a Yoga Benefit Class for my HIV African children's project. Ann has taught yoga since 1993 & has graciously agreed to (once again) help me on my yoga journey by teaching this donation class.

This all-level, Iyengar benefit class is on Sunday, Sept 13th from 2-3:30pm at California Yoga Center's Mountain View studio [570 Showers Drive - San Antonio Center]. The requested minimum donation is $17. All proceeds will benefit African children infected/orphaned/affected by HIV.
