What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Guatemala Widowed Women w/ Children

Teams of people are taken to Guatemala each year to build weather resistant homes for widows and orphans. Through this charity, we not only pay for the supplies needed to build homes, but also for the education of these women in trade skills so they can provide for their families. Through this effort, in the villages we have touched, we have seen the ‘flee' rate to America sharply decline, while the self- sufficiency increases. Our goal is to raise $300,000 this year to bring not only housing, but fresh clean water and maybe even solar power!

Population(s) Served
Women and girls
Economically disadvantaged people

The Foundation support is organizing trips with teams of individuals to New Zealand for its individual members to engage in experiential teachings with the Waitaha, an indigenous Māori tribe of New Zealand, to understand how to be spiritual in all areas of life. Additionally, through donations and contributions to the Foundation, the Foundation will also bring the tribal elders to Turtle Island (North America) to educate and share their message with Native American tribes and people of all standings. With very few indigenous tribes left in the world, this activity provides an invaluable educational experience to those that wish to bring centuries of knowledge and wisdom back to society.

Population(s) Served
Indigenous peoples

We teach art, song writing and film making classes in shelters globally in the catastrophe zones around the world- engaging with the people inviting their own creativity to shine. The tour also involves painting large scale murals throughout the impacted regions for all to see and on walls that are still standing in order to plant a seed of creativity and hope in the land of destruction. The murals will be inspired and painted together with the local people to pay tribute to the individuals who lost their lives, and to serve as an intercultural dialogue. The impact of music and art brings light back into the eyes that once harbored hopelessness. Creative therapy has been proven, time and time again, to be a powerful tool, offering psychosocial support in a journey to release trauma, break through fear, heal and thrive.

Population(s) Served
Victims and oppressed people
Homeless people

The Foundation believes that education is key and that its Legendary Life program has the power to change the world with its transformative message. However, there are shining stars out there that have the potential to make a huge impact given this knowledge, but do not have the funds to attend. The Legendary Life Scholarship Program provides program tuition to budding talent who are in a unique position to create a huge ripple effect in the pond of life. By providing financial tuition assistance to these students, the Foundation hopes to inspire and empower them to graduate the program to change the world. Through donations and contributions to the Foundation, the Foundation intends on providing grants to students that qualify. Providing financial assistance serves to support the Foundation’s purpose of operating for a charitable purpose.
