I came to india 8 months ago (september 25th) to volunteer and teach yoga. The experience has already had some of the most life changing affects. From living in a village with locals, adjusting to the cultural norms, teaching yoga to people from all over the world. its been both challenging, and expansive at the same time. 
During my time here i got the oppertunity to open up a childrens center where parents could bring their kids and i would do art projects and activities with the kids. I had the oppertunity to connect and meet with families all over the world. I learned to communicate with children who didnt speak english and the interactions and bonds made were more magical than words could ever to it justice.
Once COVID-19 reared its head, i found myself unable to leave Agonda,Goa. we were put on lockdown and its been in place for nearly two months now. Finances have dwindled (naturally) and im beginning to see that some extra support during this time would be highly benneficial and deeply appreciated. 
My Passion is to continue to travel once the international travel ban has lifted,create another space where i can teach and share with children. I will need support in the areas of  booking flights, food, shelter and basic necessities, and funds to support furthering my education in yoga and teaching abroad.
I am deeply grateful for all the support ive recieved thus far, and thank you to anyone who has taken the time to view my campaign.
