Head Chef Wendy of Jungle Bay Dominica, the resort where we stayed for our Satsang Yoga retreat in July, taught us a Caribbean cooking class. But it was much more than that! She told stories of her childhood on the island and the poverty her family endured; she expressed gratitude for having come to be the head chef at Jungle Bay; and she also talked about how important it is for the children of the island to be educated about their culture and the foods of the island that grow there so abundantly. She encouraged us to go into the world and be what she called her “angels of change”. She spoke about how important it is to care for one another and to support one another and to do what we can to uplift the lives of others. She spoke about how this is the way we uplift our own lives. (She really was a yogi in a head chef suit!)We were so inspired by her and all of the staff of Jungle Bay and by the kind and resilient people of Dominica that we decided to come back and offer a fundraiser in order to help them rebuild a preschool that was destroyed by Category 5 Hurricane Maria in 2017.
So far Jungle Bay has raised $30,000 of the necessary $100,000 to rebuild the school. They are collectively donating 10% of their tips to the cause, and guests of the resort also may donate.
We hope you will join us for a fun night being an Angel of Change!
Help us send support from the Satsang Yoga Community to the Preschool Children of Dominica!
