Don't Let Covid-19 Derail the Dream.
How are you all doing?
Are you continuing your daily practice of yoga and meditation to ground yourselves?
While many of us are blessed to have online classes or home practices, many women and children are struggling for their lives in India.
The situation is lopsided, more than ever.
On Tuesday, May 5, the whole world will unite for #GivingTuesdayNow---a wonderful global day of giving in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We at Yoga Gives Back want to engage global yoga communities to show our commitment for YGB fund recipient women and children badly affected by this pandemic.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 so our programs of empowerment stay strong.
India's nationwide lock down has caused the 500 underserved mothers of YGB's micro loans programs in rural villages of West Bengal to lose their job and daily income. Many of the 700 young girls under YGB's education programs are facing their family's financial pressure to drop school and get married.
Nearly all 1400 YGB fund recipients are now living on government rationing of food for daily survival.
Despite these enormous challenges, they're determined to regain strength and resume their path to reach their dream.
We are all in this together.
Let’s come together for #GivingTuesdayNow to give back to Mother India, especially if your yoga practice sustains your life at this difficult time.
Don't let COVID-19 derail the dream.
Thank YOU for your generosity as the force of #OneMillionYogis.
Namaste.
