An incredible 5Rhythm teacher Lucie Nerot, from France is working with Cambodia children teaching them the 5Rhythms as a way to empower them to have greater understanding about their life conditions, the possibilities before them and help them find the source of their power.

She finances this work through her non-profit Dancing Across Borders.

Another 5Rhythm teacher, Joanne Winstanley, from Victoria Canada, is conducting a fundraiser, A Chance to Dance in Victoria Canada this weekend to support Lucie's important work. Lucie is passionate about making a difference in people's (particularly young people) lives by 'dancing across borders' - -the borders of counties, language, and economics.

I plan to go and give my support and I'm asking for Olympians to support this fundraiser by making a donation (or if you'd rather...come and DANCE).  I have a personal goal of raising $1000, 1/4 of what Lucie needs to spend two months in Cambodia to do this important work. If just 40 Olympians support this cause with a $25.00 donation I can reach my goal.  You can donate via paypal, see the direct link at Move And Be Moved: or contact me, Visudha de los Santos.  I will post footage of the event when I return next week.

You might wonder what are the 5Rhythms?  The 5Rhythms is a meditative practice that teachers awareness through dance movement. 

So: 5Rhythms, 4 Countries, 3 Women, 2 ways (DANCE or Donate) to make a difference in children's lives, 1 act of kindness.
