Yesterday, I received an email from one of my yoga students &
Kularts.org representative . A great practice of
Karma Yoga.
"I'm
usually in your Tuesday night Yoga class (the filipina girl with short
hair). Anyway, I'm writing because I remember you telling us once that
if we ever had a cause or charity that we'd like to donate to, that
you'd see what you could do about collecting donations."
Well, on Sunday, the Philippines was ravaged by Typhoon Ondoy,
bringing down over a month's worth of rains in just 12 hours. This is
the worst storm to have hit the Philippines in over 40 years. 100s have
died and thousands are stranded on rooftops as the entire capitol
region is under water.I
have several friends in the Philippines who have formed small relief
groups, and they have been going out to communities to bring food,
water, clothes, goods, and supplies to those in need. Some of them are
even involved in rescue missions. If its not too much to ask, I would
love to see what we could do about getting donations from folks in class tonight that would go directly to these relief efforts. -
