About Me

I am very interested in the practice of compassion and kindness. I am involved with charity programs and like to help others become involved who are interested. I am a Buddhist Bodybuilder and recently graduated from UMW, majoring in Spanish, but I study web development, immunology, neuroscience, quantum physics, religion and nutrition/fitness as well. I am looking to meet new people!.
More importantly, anyone interested in volunteering, basically helping those in need, let me know! I work with a local nonprofit called Students Helping Honduras which helps fundraise for orphaned children in honduras, as well as a myspace international charity and awareness program called Global Charity upon which for each person who joins the this group I will donate 25 cents to basic international needs such as:
1. India and Pakistan to help with the victims of the South Asian Earthquake.
2. Malawi, Mozambique, Ghana, Haiti, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania to help with medical supplies for the sick and needy
3. Sending clothing and toys to needy children in the U.S
4. Investing in Clean Water Systems and filtration systems around the world.
5. Feeding the poorest villages in the world.
