WPI Newsletters: August 2018

Channary Tauch

After more than 7 years working with the young leaders who participate in our meditation, mindfulness, and self-empowerment events, we can see that the success of a social project depends heavily on how well the inner aspects of the project are handled. In other words, change always starts from within. This is why we are launching a grant program which aims at encouraging mindfulness-based social projects at the community level. All non-profit organizations, youth leaders, social entrepreneurs, peace activists, and anybody from Africa with an idea are eligible to apply for WPI’s Mindfulness Grant. Applications open soon. Like Peace Revolution Fb Page to keep updated.

Kateryna Kulyk is a highly skilled specialist and was a valuable member of WPI Crew for more than three years. Starting as a volunteer at WPI headquarters in Bangkok she became coordinator of the first Bridge fellowship that has laid a foundation for more opportunities for young activists from East Europe and Central Asia to learn about mindfulness and how to apply it in their everyday work. We wish you lots of success on your path!
