WHAT:
On Saturday, April 17th from 11:00am - 2:00pm the Karma Krew will be holding its monthly karma project at The Yoga Shala - 927 North Pennsylvania Avenue, Winter Park, Florida 32789.
APRIL'S THEME:
The theme for this month is "Giving Back to the Caregivers"...So often, tragedy or disaster is something that we read about in the newspapers, or watch from a distance on TV. But cancer is something that we all know, whether personally or through a family member or close friend, or even a distant relative.When cancer does affect a family, support is often there for the adults, but not always for the children.
CAMP KESEM:
Camp Kesem ("kesem" meaning "magic" in Hebrew) is a college-student-run summer camp for kids 6 - 13 who have/had a parent with cancer. Enjoying a week of fun and meeting kids in their same situation, these young children can find the support and attention they need, that might be difficult for the parents to provide at home during this time. What is also so magical about these camps is that each of the college students that run them do their own fundraising each year. And one of them told me their budget each year is $12,000!
HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED:
For the first two weeks of April, we will be raising funds for two camps, at the University of Florida and the University of Miami. Donations can be made HERE or at The Yoga Shala in Winter Park. (Please be sure to specify that you want your donation to go to Camp Kesem at University of Florida or University of Miami!)
On April 17th, we will gather at The Yoga Shala to practice asana and meditation, cultivating the realization that, through our practice and the very acts of living, we can create positive & happy lives for all beings. If you would like to participate please register here
