MEET THE CP
About Me: One cannot easily live in today's world without causing some harm to other beings - but that does not mean we shouldn't try to keep it to a minimum. I take a Vow of Ahimsa and make inner harmony my first priority. To support this intention, I have taken on a $250 goal to educate youth in DC about domestic violence with @Citizen Effect and @Becky's Fund through the daily practice of yoga during the month of August. I know I can count on you to help me reach this goal. I'm feeling more at peace already. :)
PROJECT SUMMARY
Domestic violence affects everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or educational background. This project directly funds two Becky’s Fund youth initiatives: the “Becoming Your Own Heroine: Lessons in Self-Empowerment and Dating Violence” and the “Young Men’s Mentorship Program”. Targeting the highest risk youths in the D.C. metro area, the initiatives provide participants with education about dating and domestic violence. As a result, youth have the tools to create healthy, productive relationships, and learn how to teach others by example about conflict resolution, allowing them to build lasting and healthy relationships for the future.
