Change a students life with food , yoga and education!
As a Health Educator my passion is to bring wellness alive in others with yoga, food and education! I am moving to Caye Caulker island in Belize to expand my wellness & relationship coaching business by adding adventure retreats and yoga.
It was love at first site with Caye Caulker! The locals are full of smiles, good food, and music. They are resilient, accountable, authentic, happy, community oriented and often limited in education.
Children weren’t able to go to school beyond 8th grade until 2008 when the first High School was built. Even so education is not free which is why across Belize only 50% of high school youth are in school. Since opening, there has been a 181% increase in the elementary school graduation rate on Caye Caulker - from 32% to 90%. Education is expensive due to fees, books, supplies and uniform costs. There is always a need when it comes to education.
What many don’t know is that kids go to school hungry every day or skip lunch because they don’t have food or money to eat. This is especially problematic during slow season when some parents aren’t working a month or more at a time. Malnutrition or insufficient diets are reported to have more health issues, academic learning and psychosocial behavioral problems in students. It can also affect the cognitive development, cognition, concentration, memory and energy levels of students.
Which is why Ocean Academy is starting the very first Assisted Lunch program! There is an immediate need for $2000 to get started and help hungry students during slow season.
With the Assisted Lunch Program kids will get at least one healthy meal a day. Partnerships are being formed with several island restaurants making this a community initiative.
With the foundation of good nourishment kids will have the energy to incorporate yoga into their life! Collaborating with the Namaste Yoga Cafe and my LoveAlive© Yoga, all students will get the chance to experience yoga. They will be educated on how to create healthy, mindful, meditative and yogic practices for life long health. But food first...
