Ana Grillo is an American-born photographer focusing her energies on working with non-profit organizations and using her skills to raise funds for education and encourage volunteerism. The Good Karma Project is a small team of like-minded yoga students and teachers, artists, media professionals who want to give their talents to help kids around the world receive an education. We will host Kirtan events to raise funds and come together as community in the spirit of giving and good karma. Our mission is to visit one orphanage at a time, volunteer and learn from them. We’ll teach the kids yoga and help them document their lives with photos and video and get them setup on facebook. Then we all can become friends and keep in touch.

Our first fund raiser will be for Sudershna’s Children’s Home in Manali, India, the Kullu Valley region in the Himalaayan mountains. To learn more about them and other orphanages in the region, go to the Kullu Project’s website at http://kulluproject.web.officelive.com. You can contact Katherine Footer directly from that site to inquire about volunteer opportunities and educational sponsorship.

Definitely, contact me if you are interested in the Good Karma Project.

We are currently looking for volunteers for 2010 to visit India and spend time with the kids.
