The Yope Foundation

The Yope Foundation sends a warm, heartfelt thank you to the Earthchild Project for hosting us at their school in Khayelitsha, South Africa! This incredible initiative brings education, self-leadership, and mindfulness to students in under-resourced schools. We had the privilege of joining a yoga class with the students and celebrating the inauguration of the school’s new organic garden. We invite you to learn more about their inspiring work, share their mission with your community, or contribute to their efforts if you’re able. Visit earthchildproject.org for details. A special thank you to Janna Kretzmar and the entire Earthchild team for organizing such a meaningful and memorable visit! 🌱

"As a human race, we can create anything we want to. The question is: should we?" How do we address the ethical impacts of technology and the increasing mental health challenges involved in entrepreneurship?
