SANCTUARY FOR FAMILIES YOGA PROGRAM
Sanctuary
for Families is a vital organization that provides shelter and support
to victims of domestic violence. Women and children who have suffered
abuse have often had their spirit battered along with their bodies, and
rebuilding their sense of trust, self-worth and capacity for joy is a
crucial component of their recovery.
Yoga can be a
wonderful gift to those who are recovering from abuse,
and Little Flower Yoga has partnered with Sanctuary for
Families to bring yoga classes to children and mothers who couldn't
otherwise afford them. We are honored to be teaching these classes and
hope that you will help us continue and expand this donation based
program.
We would like to thank the following organizations for their tremendous generosity and support of the Sanctuary yoga classes:
Dorel Juvenile Group
Munchkin
Lululemon
Children's Network Corporation

JAMAICA ORPHANAGE PROJECT
As
some of you know I have had the amazing opportunity over the past few years to teach
yoga at the Blossom Garden Children's Home in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
This facility houses from 60 to 80 infants and children at a time, and
is one of many orphanages in the country. On each trip I am deeply affected by these
beautiful and loving children who are lacking so many basic things such
as shoes, cribs, sheets, school supplies and much, much more.
After
doing some research and talking to other people on the island I
realized that the orphanage I visited was one of the better equipped
facilities, and that the need was even greater then I realized.
There
is so much in this world that is overwhelming and sometimes it feels
like it is impossible to make a substantial difference, but for these
children, with your help, we can make a real and lasting improvement in
their lives.
Little Flower Yoga is now working with Children's
Network Corporation to fill a shipping container with donated infant
and child care products. With the help of the Jamaica branch of the
Rotary Club International we will be distributing the donated material
according to need among Jamaica's many orphanages.
We have
had a great response from manufactures and retailers and are doing well
getting product donations. We are now looking to raise money to pay for
the shipping. Any donation that you can make is a huge help, whether is
is $5 or $500, as the cost of shipping is significant, and we are
hoping to make this an annual donation.
If you would like
more information about donating, have questions about what we are
doing, or would like to organize a fundraiser at your school, please
contact jennifer@littlefloweryoga.com.
Thank you for your generosity!
