This Jewish New Year I'm starting off by travelling to India to volunteer for the Gabriel Project Mumbai (GPM) (http://www.gabrielprojectmumbai.org/).  According to its website,

“Gabriel Project Mumbai (GPM) cares for vulnerable children living in slums and poor rural areas of India by attending to the Triad of Children's Well-being: education, health and nutrition. The GPM approach works with local NGO partners and women's empowerment initiatives that have positive ripple effects in the slums, thus forging a powerful win-win model for advancing communal development.”

Today more than ever before we have among us worldwide circles of aid and assistance.  It does not matter where you are or what language you speak, we all grew up on a set of common values.  The Talmud teaches us that, “S/he who save one life it is as if they have saved an entire universe.”

In addition to raising funds and galvanising worldwide awareness for GPM I hope that my personal mission will remind us that when we open our hearts to the world and give of ourselves to others we become part of a long tradition of charity and righteousness and leading by personal example part of the Jewish culture of Tikkun Olam.

Please join me by helping me raise awareness and funding for the healthcare and education of these amazing kids to help break the cycle of illiteracy and poverty.

I am excited to have the opportunity to raise money and awareness for this great cause. Please click the Donate button to give what you can. Of course, any amount is appreciated! Don't forget to also help me by spreading the word on social media (and in the real world). Let's make a difference.

Thank you for supporting me!
