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!

Yoga, yoga, yoga...

Last Sunday, my longtime yoga teacher Ann led a benefit class for my African HIV children's project. The intention for our practice was "selfless service." Ann reminded us that our efforts, and the intentions behind our actions, are what matter--the results are beyond our control.

These words of wisdom were just the reminder I needed--although I set a $20,000 fundraising goal, the actions that I am taking at this moment are what truly matter.

Please take this moment to support these children with me:
