the life and times of a yogi mama

Off the Mat Seva Challenge 2012 India

I have committed to raise $20k to help save girls and women from sex trafficking. In conjunction with Off the Mat, Into the World, I will be working on this project all year, aiming to raise the funds by December 15. I am open to fundraising ideas large and small! If there is something I can do for you in exchange for a donation, please don’t hesitate to mention it!

I know it seems like an impossible undertaking…to eradicate sex trafficking. The more I learn about the problem, the more overwhelming it seems. It really helps me to focus on this instruction from the Talmud. Each of us should do what we can. Even if it seems like a drop in the bucket.

whoever saves one life…saves the world entire.

If I focus on saving only one girl, I feel powerful.

This video will help you understand, as it did for me. She is a powerful advocate.
“Don’t tell me a hundred ways how you can not respond to this problem. Can you apply your mind for that one way that you can respond to the problem?”

I AM GOING TO RESPOND. Will you help me? 

Donate here. On this page, select “Global Seva Challenge – India” from the Off The Mat® Program* pulldown, and then select “Elyse Leeds Acanda” on the second pulldown. Namaste.
