Photo of the Week: Rocking Out Tittibhasana in Jacmel

This lively photo by: Alex Abercrombie

Each week, we pluck a favorite pic from our past and present albums to highlight. Here, one of our Global Seva participants, Lisa Rueff, rocks out tittibhasana with the kids of Jacmel, Haiti. In June, Lisa brought US yogis to Haiti to begin building the Jacmel Children’s Center, an orphanage which will become home to 80 children in the country. The center is one of our Global Seva Challenge partners. Money raised through our program will be directed toward building efforts, and in February, during our trip to Haiti, we’ll finalize the construction of the orphanage. In June, Lisa practiced yoga with the kids of the Art Creation Foundation For Children, another Global Seva partner, each day. Lisa says, the kids “absolutely loved doing yoga everyday.” Through Global Seva, we’ll be contributing necessary financial support to this foundation, which works daily to help the kids of Jacmel achieve self sufficiency through art and education. Their mission: “we teach street children art so that they may have a future.”
