A New KIVA Donation

Time for another KIVA donation!  Since I have been making the Mandala Yoga Mat bags I know how difficult and time consuming it is to sew.  Mrs. Savinh Doung from Cambodia is weaving silk!  Can you imagine the time and patience needed for that skill.

It takes such a small amount of money, time, energy, kindness etc....  to make a difference in someones life.  I hope that these small donations will help to make life a bit easier and enjoyable for these entrepreneurs. Here is a little info on this beautiful woman.


Thank you for your support on our small business as well!


Namaste

She sells her finished products to a middleman in the village who then takes them to sell in Phnom Penh.

Give a little make a difference

As I watch the devistation and destruction that the earthquake in Haiti created I am reminded how blessed and lucky I am.  I just have to look around at what I have to realize it is my responsibility to be responsible.

It doesn't take much to make a difference and to help people and a country in need.  All you have to do is google Haiti donations and you will see how many organizations there are.  Check them out and see what percentage the organization actually gives.  There are many that are able to give 95% of the donations directly to places in need.

I will continue to give a portion of every Mandala Yoga Mat I sell to the relief efforts in Haiti.  So feel good about that too if you do buy a mat.

Remember every little bit helps.

Take a look around at your home, your family and friends and take note at how fortunate we all are.

Namaste
