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!

Thanksgiving Yoga to Benefit HIV kids -- Share Your Blessings!!

I am sending out invites far and wide for all to share their blessings this Thanksgiving weekend for yoga to benefit African children infected/orphaned/affected by HIV. www.sugiforkids.blogspot.com

THREE of my yoga teachers are giving donation-based classes this Thanksgiving weekend in the spirit of gratitude: pre-turkey, Thanksgiving morning class (Nov. 26), & post-turkey, Sunday afternoon class (Nov.29).

Donations will purchase new mattresses & supplies for an HIV orphanage, construct a school, and build a birthing/vocational center for HIV pregnant women to prevent mother-to-child-transmission of HIV to babies.

I have raised over $18,200 and will travel to Africa in February to work with these children.

Even if you are unable to join us , please make a tax-deductible donation: www.sugiforkids.blogspot.com

Gobble-gobble!!
