Tone It Up Teams Up with KIDS PLAY  INT’L and heads to MALAWI!

Kids Play Int’l was founded in 2008 by our dear friend and sports agent Karen and three-time Olympian in free-style skiing, Tracy Evans.  Kids Play is an initiative of the not for profit People Helping People Intl, Inc., that looks to improve the quality of life for African kids by way of interactive involvement and education through sports.

In June 2010 we are headed to Malawi with Kids Play Int’l for a  humanitarian service trip to promote an interactive and educational sports program for kids in orphanages and schools throughout Africa.

Learning through sports can be a very powerful tool that is engaging and instrumental in improving self esteem, discipline, fair play and respect toward one another.  We will help to educate and promote the importance of healthy living, nutrition, exercise, team building, discipline, and increase awareness and respect between genders.  These tools are essential in helping to improve overall quality of life for African children of all ages.

Malawi is one of the poorest nations in the world and in Africa comes the reality of HIV/AIDS, illiteracy, hunger, and with that brings many orphaned children. There’s an estimated 1,000,000 orphans do to disease or abandonment.  With no parents, obtaining the proper education, nutrition, and basic needs is difficult.  We are all connected and we believe in making a positive difference.  Help us work together to make changes. 

Tone It Up is raising money to fund our trip in June 2010 and  to help the Mtendere Orphanage and local schools  in Malawi that is a home for over 130 children.  We believe real change happens person to person.  Please know your money will go directly towards our volunteer trip and the needed resources for the sports program that will make a direct impact in these kids lives.  You’re donation is also 100% tax deductible.
