Cardio Kickboxing has been proven to reduce fat tone the body and promote flexibility. Many people find kickboxing a great way to release stress. All the rage at present cardio-kickboxing borrows moves from the Thai sport of kickboxing to make participants work up a sweat.

Please read :) (Swansea) At the beginning of 2004 Kristen Palana launched an online project called Aura s House http w.aurashouse.com Its a fundraising website whose original goal was to raise 4500 to build a safe sturdy home for 11-year old Aura Hernandez and her family who live in one of the poorest slums in Guatemala City Guatemala. Aura has been Kristen s sponsored child for six years through the top-rated charitable organization Children International http w.children.org Now four years later the grassroots site has raised more than 50000 all of which has gone to help a grand total of 27 sponsored children their families and communities in 10 countries on 4 continents They now run two projects simultaneously a Main Project (around 5000) and a Small Project (around 500 I am writing to ask you to please help us fundraise for the latest Small Project for my sponsored child Daniela of the Dominican Republic. Children International wrote Danielas project office and they had their field workers see what her family could really use. I just received a letter from them regarding Danielas family. They are in great need of a refrigerator to keep food fresh and a chest of drawers. I also asked for her for sure to get an atlas and a dictionary. Being from a poor family she would not be able to afford to get these items for her home and I feel they would be invaluable for her education. Plus her siblings and cousins could use this resource while studying and it can do good for many. Because of Daniela being sponsored she gets to go to school. Otherwise her family wouldnt be able to afford the books and uniforms public schools demand in their country. I encourage Daniela to study hard because education is the key to her future. In her country poor girls are usually educated for less time then their male siblings. Sponsorship changes that for her. I support other places in my home country and believe in helping your own but I also believe that children are important everywhere. I believe empowering young females and giving them that shot they might not otherwise get is so very important. Daniela lives with her motherfather 2 sisters and a brother in one multi-use room that is sectioned off with a blanket. They get water from a neighbors faucet. Her father is a daily worker and her mother is a maid. The familys monthly income is roughly 100 (usd) per month. Daniela is turning 9 years old on September 4th. I would like to raise 500 for them to receive a refrigerator chest of drawers atlas and dictionary.
