Happy New Year!

Hello Everyone!

Our team wanted to wish you a Happy New Year and take this time to reflect back on 2011. With My Own Two Hands Foundation was incorporated at the end of 2010, so 2011 was the first official full year as an organization. This past year was filled with so much growth and inspiration, and we wanted to say thank you for joining us in helping kids in Africa affected by poverty and HIV/AIDS. We were able to witness connection, unity, and love throughout our various events and were able to raise significant funds that will indeed change lives. We had a blast teaming up with you and our local communities to make a difference in the world around us. It's such an honor to be apart of a movement based on service and compassion and we would not be where we are today without you and your desire to give back to those in need.  We wanted to say thank you for recognizing the power of the yoga and sport communities and how we can team up together, using our talents and gifts, to impact the lives of children in need of necessities, love, and inspiration.

We are excited to inform you that we will be taking an amazing team of volunteers out to Narok, Kenya this month! We will be using the funds to donate beds, mattresses, school desks, school supplies and school books to the Nissi Orphanage. This is our first adventure in Kenya and we are excited to work with the 55 children of the Nissi Orphanage. We wanted to say thank you for helping us be able to make these donations possible for the children of Nissi. Each donation to our cause went a long way toward helping provide basic needs to the children. We are so excited to embark on this life changing experience and we wanted to say thank you for a year full of growth and inspiration! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We promise to keep you updated on our upcoming adventure and show you how you helped make a difference in our world!

May 2012 be a year filled with peace, love and service!
