In the last two years I have been so moved by many gestures from family and friends that have shared and given so much to the foundation.  I love hearing how some of Sean's students have become certified yoga teachers and every time they practice...they dedicate it to the beautiful memory of Sean or how some of Sean's students have volunteered with the foundation and assist our yoga teachers.  It is also very moving when new supporters offer to help and donate because they really believe the foundation is doing something really good and beneficial for the youth of our communities, but I am really moved when children help children.

Last year I wrote about Bella and Lulu, twins that celebrated their 7th birthday and donated all the birthday money to the foundation.  This year Bella and Lulu did it again and more than doubled their gift to the foundation.  The girls are now 8 years old and their donation will put over 25 children through our seven week program.  "Lulu and Bella, Happy 8th Birthday" and thank you for your generous donation to the Sean O'Shea Foundation...the Board thanks you, our committees thank you and the children of our communities thank you once again.
 
We have been so busy these past few months and in addition...are offering our first summer program to over 150 students.  Make sure to read about the Sean O'Shea college scholarship award created to help low income students at Palomar College and also our big December108 Sun Salutation fundraiser.  Contact Gloria for a pledge sheet today and start collecting pledges.
 
Remember, September is Yoga month.  We plan on having an exhibit at the Global Mala Yoga for Peace event in Los Angeles on September 20th...if you are coming...make sure to drop by and say hi.  See below for more information. 
 
We are always in need of volunteers to assist our yoga teachers or help out with office work.  Contact me if you would like to be part of our volunteer team.
