Previously, I mentioned an organization called Yoga Gives Back, whose purpose is to fight poverty through yoga and microfinancing. I have been in regular contact with the founder, Kayoko Mitsumatsu, and they are putting on a special benefit class this Saturday July 18th at Yogaglo’s Santa Monica studio. All proceeds go to fight poverty around the world. Come for a great class and some wonderful networking opportunities while giving back to those in need. Hope to see you there!
- Date: Saturday July 18th
- Time: 4:30-6:30pm
- Location: Yogaglo – 1800 Berkeley St, Santa Monica CA
- RSVP: yogagivesback@earthlink.net
Also check out Kiva.org – it is a non-profit organization who partners with microfinancing organizations around the world in order to help fight the war on poverty. Lend just $25 to a group or individual of your choice to help them start up their small business. You get all your money back in time and also benefiting society – now that’s what I call a win win situation!
For those in the LA area – check out the Los Angeles Microfinance Network to get involved and stay updated on microfinancing events in Socal.
