News from Esther

Dear Yoga Moves friends,

My time at the Mae Tao Clinic (MTC) is over. It was intense, what made it comfortable at the end of the day was making friends and meeting inspiring people. I really have found it entirely rewarding being a part, if only for a short while, of such a nice community and such a worthwhile organization. During my stay I continued giving Yoga classes and this truly felt like such a wonderful gift I was able to give. Look at some of the pictures to get an impression!

Before leaving I was able to collect a total of almost 900euro through fundraising (470euro of this money was thanks to all the students and teachers from Yoga Moves). I donated a large part of fund-raised money to the MTC. A small part of the money went to a very grass root project to help people that were living on a garbage ground; providing them with housing and a way to make a living to give back some decency in their lives.

Thank you all so much for your donation. I can assure you that every euro went a long way. Personally I was so happy to be able to give this money.
