Have you ever wondered how yoga can change a child's life? This episode of Tribe Sober dives into the heartwarming stories of Janna Kretzmar and Courage Chiringa, two individuals making a big difference. Janna, the visionary behind the Earthchild Project, shares her journey from being inspired by her travels in South America to founding a project that has touched the lives of thousands of underprivileged children since 2007.
Her initiative brings holistic education to kids, teaching them yoga, gardening, and leadership skills to help them navigate their challenging environments. You'll hear about the profound impact these programs have had on children, helping them connect with themselves and their communities in meaningful ways. Courage Chiringa, Tribe Sober's campaign manager, adds his own inspiring story. Coming from Zimbabwe to South Africa, he found support in his education and now dedicates his life to giving back.
Courage discusses his role in the Dry January Challenge, an annual fundraiser that has raised nearly half a million rand over nine years. This challenge supports the Earthchild Project, providing yoga classes and life skills programs to children who need them most. By sponsoring a child for just 250 rand, you can help create a ripple effect of positive change.
This episode is a testament to the power of community and generosity, showing how even small acts can lead to significant impacts. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration and a reminder of the good that can come from giving back, this episode is a must-listen.
