Yoga & Meditation for Healthcare Workers - Peru
Donation protected
OUR 3RD QUARANTINE & LOCKDOWN HAS BEEN LIFTED AS OF MARCH 1ST, 2021 / CURFEW REMAINS FROM 9PM - 4AM (NO ONE IS ALLOWED OUT ON SUNDAYS)
Current Positive Test Count: 1,374,467
Current Death Total: 47,973
Country Ranked: #1 Most Deaths Worldwide Per Capita
CURRENT SITUATION:
As we enter week #50 of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Cusco, Peru has ended of one of the longest quarantines in the world. We are still in a Nationwide State of Emergency which is currently at 351 Days.
Cusco is known as the Navel of The World and the Center of the Universe. Cusco is also a tourist hub where travelers from all over the world come to visit one of the 7 Wonders of the World, known as MACHU PICCHU.
80% of the economy in Cusco is dependent on foreign travelers. During these past 351 Days, we have seen many businesses having to close due to the pandemic, economic hardships, lack of tourism and with our international borders currently closed, it has been said that tourism will not return until mid 2021.

OUR MISSION:
Despite the unstable health and economic situation in Peru, I see an opportunity to continue to practice love, compassion in action, and inner calm. While we abide by the President´s mandate of social distancing, wearing a mask, and disinfecting oneself, these are by themselves insufficient to address what I call a specific healthcare issue, or for improving our immune systems. I would like to enlarge the mandate, to include healthy eating habits and a regular practice of physical activity, which can include yoga and meditation.
This is why we have decided to offer FREE YOGA & MEDITATION CLASSES TO HEALTHCARE WORKERS & CHILDREN AT RISK.
All Cleared to Teach Yoga & Meditation
WHO WILL BENEFIT:
At this time I have decided to continue my attention and dedication to those individuals who need the most attention.
HEALTHCARE WORKERS
One who delivers care and services to the sick and ailing either directly as doctors and nurses or indirectly as aides, helpers, laboratory technicians, etc.
They have been directly and affected by this pandemic. They are our front line workers in a very antiquated health care system. They have been doing their best given the lack of resources and personnel.
A recent article publish in Peru stated that over 20% of healthcare workers visit the hospital psychologist for depression related to COVID-19.

COVID-19 Unit & ICU Group
CHILDREN AT RISK
I will do my best to make sure my time and classes are distributed properly as to also provide classes to children as well. They have been greatly affected by the quarantine as they have not been allowed outside for more than 30 Minutes a day.
HOW TO IMPLEMENT & MY SITUATION:
The GOAL AMOUNT is estimated at € 5,400 Euros / ($6,100 US) to be able to continue providing these classes until the end of 2020 and into 2021.
The more we are able to receive in donations, the more we will be able to provide in terms of specific classes, workshops and trainings. Any donation regardless of the amount will go a long way to sharing this practice with those in need.
This estimated figure takes into account the amount of time, effort, investment and safety precautions we have undertaken to make this happen.
1. Purchase of Additional New Yoga Mats
2. Transportation Costs
3. Cleaning Supplies
4. Stipend for Yoga & Meditation Classes
5. COVID-19 Testing Precautions
6. Full commitment for (8) Months of Practice
7. Yoga Teacher Training for Hospital Personnel
That being said, my situation, as with many others during this pandemic has been difficult. Some of the funds that will be received are to also help me stay afloat in these tough economic times. The funds will sustain me as well as my vision to bring yoga and meditation to those on the front lines of this pandemic. This is my way to help create an energy flow of giving and receiving.
Please allow me to continue this fight against COVID-19 by providing our front line workers with the tools they need to find peace of mind and a healthy practice during this pandemic.
