 Hey guys,
I've never turned to you for any sort of money before. I don't have ads on this site so as to keep it as free and community driven as possible. I turn to you now for some help toward a cause that needs it.

Some members of PKCali (Cliff Kravit, Jordan Warrick, Kerris Seward, and Adam Ticknor), in collaboration with the non-profit organization Not Man Apart have partnered with Caleb's Hope to launch the PK UNITED program.

PK United works with children across the globe who are deemed 'high risk' and dealing with many obstacles in their young lives. This program will launch in Northern Uganda, an area where the children and youth have been deeply impacted by conflict with rebels in the region and the target of a massacre in 1995.

Siblings often raising each other as parents have been killed - Kids hanging out in the vast open land - No running water. Supply is rationed

Goals:
  • To help alleviate and cure symptoms of PTSD in persons living in Atiak Sub-County region through physical and arts based therapies.
  • To help women and girls who are victims of gender-based violence and to teach both males and females in the community the importance of ending gender-based violence.
  • Provide education and awareness of both mental and physical health and wellness: to help the community to see the direct link between mental and physical health.
  • Work with locals to develop school recreational and physical education programs.

Since the PKCali team are volunteers, we have to pay our own way and are asking for donations to help us take part in this great opportunity to help the less fortunate.

We will need to cover the following expenses for 4 members (Cliff Kravit, Jordan Warrick, Kerris Seward, Adam Ticknor) and make a donation to the local community. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. We were given this opportunity with very short notice and are asking for your help to make it happen quickly. We leave November 29th for a two week journey.

Team expenses:
 Flight (LA to Uganda ~ $1700/person)
In country costs (lodging, meals, transportation $670/person)
Immunizations (~$500/person)
Passports (~150/person)
Visas ($50/person)

ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE!!

*Contributions can be made online at http://pkunited.org, but to reduce the cost of online donations checks are preferred.

*Checks can be made:
payable to - "Not Man Apart"
memo/for - "PK United"

Checks can be mailed to:
PK United
P.O. Box 64517
Los Angeles, CA 90064

*Cash donations are also accepted

orking with locals build new homes - One of the old mud-hut houses that breaks down quickly - One of the new design mud-hut houses that will last at least 10 years

While in Uganda, we will run Parkour workshops which will not only help them heal, but Parkour's altruistic philosophies give them the discipline to overcome any obstacle, keeping thems safe, and believing in their abilities as individuals and a community to be great.

Please share this information with anyone you think might be able to help.

 Just to add a fun fact. We are also planning a tournament to showcase an essential skill that all of you should have found most detrimental in your recent training. If anyone is interested or would like to get the details to participate in the tournament, definately shoot an email to -email-. This is a part of our fundrasing so anything you can do to help counts......

Guess it wouldn't hurt to mention exactly what this tournament is about....but I won't....until you email us... HA!

 Updates to the first post have been made so as to give a little more info. Hopefully it will provide enough to get more people to donate.
Thanks in advance!

 Much appreciated Devin.

We've just completed paperwork with the non-profit organization "Not Man Apart" so we're able to accept donations that are tax-deductible as charitable contributions. So anyone who donates can write-off their donation on their taxes. YAY!

So please pass on the word. If any more of you are willing to donate, or perhaps the company you (or your parents) work for is willing to donate so they can get the tax write-off, please pass on the information or put me in touch with them.

Thanks again!

 We're back from Uganda. Man it's taken a while to get over the jet lag, timezone difference, and back on track.
We had fun training the youth out there. When I get a chance, I'll post up pics.

Thanks again to all who supported the effort!
