Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! In early 2009, January/February, I'll be teaming up with E3Live* to embark on a heart-led journey to Mombasa, Kenya and Goa, India.

MOMBASA, KENYA
There are a number of projects I will be working on with the Lift Kids Organization to develop a sustainable 17-acre village for the education and empowerment of approximately 1,000 at-risk girls.

--Mombasa College of Hospitality development
--Water harvesting for drinking and municipal use
--Farm cultivation for subsistence and business
--Cow breeding for milk and yogurt manufacture
--Eco guesthouses for tourists, volunteers, students, and homeless children

Mombasa is a beautiful example of just one of the many locations Lift Kids is developing. The vision is to create a global network of self-sustaining villages using a holistic approach including self reliance, hands-on personal engagement, leadership, and replicable small business modules that integrate health and education to support and sustain children.

GOA, INDIA
Here I'll be working with yogini, Psalm Isadora, to build the Tree of Life Communal House and support the Yoga Outreach program.

The communal house serves as a base for Indians and westerns to live together, to offer donation-based yoga classes, (like Santa Monica Power Yoga and www.YogiChocolate.com) and to also provide microfinance loans for local entrepreneurs.

Even though India is the birthplace of yoga, it is not generally accessible to the working class. I will go out into the community to teach free yoga with an emphasis on health for women and children..

*E3LIVE
E3 Live has partnered with me on this adventure to provide 9,000 whopping servings of their AMAZING, all-organic, wild-harvested algae superfood to the people of Mombasa and Goa. Check out www.e3live.com.
