Off The Mat IntoThe World - Africa 2009



Off The Mat, Into The World, SEVA Challenge 2009!

I have accepted the challenge of raising $20,000 for Off The Mat, Into The World’s Bare Witness: African Humanitarian Tour.

OTM is a organization founded by Seane Corn, Hala Khouri, and Suzanne Sterling. Taking everything I have learned on the yoga mat – strength, compassion, focus, and flexibility – and extending it out, so that everything you do you do in the name of love. SEVA means selfless service.

This is one of the poorest areas of the world, where approximately 42 million children do not have access to education, clean water, or healthy food. Our work will include building schools and a birthing centre in rural villages through Building Tomorrow, working at New Hope Orphanage which takes in AIDS street children, helping with an Organic Sustainable Farm System that has already taken 11 villages out of poverty and starvation, and with Youth AIDS. We will be supporting both National and Local organizations and charities in Africa and Uganda.
