DAYC Collects and Donates over $60,001 to Nepal Relief

In the two months since Nepal was rocked by a massive earthquake, the Divine Art of Yoga Center (DAYC) in La Habra has collected over $60,001 for its sister ashrams in the region that now feed 600-700 people daily.

The benefit of having the funds go from ashram to ashram is that 100% of the money goes directly to the needy in the form of food and other necessities (the photos are from internet news reports).

 

The reason I mentioned $60,001+ was donated -- instead of merely writing $60,000+ -- is because when people in Indian cultures donate money, the added "1" on their check signifies God. It also indicates this is not the last donation this person will make.

You can make your first (or next) donation here at the Divine Service Home website.

And don't forget to add the 1.

In the Earthquake Epicenter

It just so happens the Ashram where I do yoga is a part of Divine Service Home in Katmandu, a permanent home for elderly homeless people. 

They are near the middle of the earthquake destruction, and the nuns there are also helping the community any way they can. Any monies you donate here will go DIRECTLY to the people affected by this devastation - even $5 or $10 can make a big difference. 

You can contact me directly at scottware11@gmail.com or you can mail a check to Divine Art of Yoga Center, 851 W Whittier Blvd, La Habra, CA 90631. 

Thank you!
