“WE MUST BE THE CHANGE WE WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD.” ~Ghandi

Close your eyes and count to six….every six seconds, somewhere on this planet, a child is lost to malnutrition….  5 million children die every year simply because they do not have enough nourishment….

In a time that faces much turmoil, be it from rising gas prices, natural disasters, a recessive economy, or war, it is important that we do not lose sight of who we are and our humanity more than ever and band together as brothers and sisters, rather than as enemies.  Unfortunately, I know that it is difficult to do this and maintain a positive outlook on life when the government, mother nature and the economy are throwing everything in their arsenals of combat at us, and from every direction.  How can we be positive for each other and about the world when it’s so hard to be positive for ourselves and about our own lives? 

Though we are each individuals, we are all bound together in this life, and even though the Martial Arts is generally regarded as “combat sports” and systems that were developed for times of turmoil, as Martial Artists, we also know that the mental and spiritual foundation of the Martial Arts was built upon unity, or achieving a positive connection, with everything and everyone.  In a time when this positive unity and connection seems hardest to hold onto, I think it is necessary, for ourselves and each other, to grasp with all of our might before it becomes lost.  As Martial Artists, or more importantly, as human beings, it’s time for us to look deep within ourselves and muster up all of the positivity that we have to share and put it to good use, especially when the rest of world seems in desperate need.  

A wise man named Ghandi was once quoted that “We must be the change we wish to see in the world.”  These are words that I, personally, try to live by, and which I hold very dear to me.  Just as a simple, yet undeniably powerful act of fasting worked to drive an unforgotten movement in Ghandi’s life, if only for a moment, these simple, yet undeniably powerful words created a movement within me, which I hope to share with you….even if you take the time to listen or take action for only a moment.  It’s better than nothing.  With all of the negative going on in the world, and all of the negative being fed to us on a day-to-day basis by the media, it is important to maintain a positive energy within ourselves, but even more important to pass it along to others.  After all, if we want a positive world, we must be the positivity we wish to see.  Who better to pass this along to than a child?

This is why Aznar Weaponry and I have teamed up with NuSkin Enterprises and the “Nourish the Children” campaign to, hopefully, do our part in making the world a better place, if even for a moment more.  Every SIX SECONDS, somewhere, a child is lost to malnutrition.  Take a moment to realize how many seconds have passed since you began reading this e-mail.  One child…every six seconds. 

Thanks to the “Nourish the Children” campaign, millions of nutritious meals are being provided every month to children all over the world; China, Africa, the Philippines, Honduras, etc. 

What’s so innovative about this program?

1) Instead of writing a check to charity, you actually donate something very tangible; nutritious food that is formulated especially for starving children.

2) You have the assurance that your donation is going directly to those who need it the most.

NUSKIN Enterprises and VITAMEAL

In 2002, this billion dollar company focused their efforts on developing the ideal food for starving children.  The result was VitaMeal…a food with the perfect balance of essential nutrients and electrolytes, plus 25 vitamins and minerals…exactly the right balance and formulation to nourish and sustain children in need.  They then developed a partnership with the Feed the Children Organization that has expertise in delivering this food where it is needed the most.  For information, please visit this website and watch the video…

WE NEED YOUR HELP!  HERE’S HOW….

1) Simply visit this website….www.nuskinny.nsedreams.com…and make a purchase for a VitaMeal plan to be donated, and it will be delivered by a reputable charity to children in need.  The primary charity involved is the FEED THE CHILDREN Charity, which is the 3rd largest charity in the United States.  The Feed the Children Charity DOES NOT charge for administrative, transportation or distribution.  You will, of course, receive a receipt for your donation from Feed the Children, which may give you an income tax deduction. 

2) In addition, NUSkin Enterprises matches your donation with company product donation!!!

3) VitaMeal is distributed to children in school, which helps to get children to go to school to further their education.

4) VitaMeal helps to provide jobs where needed.

5) For every 5 VitaMeal packages purchased, Aznar Weaponry will purchase 1 VitaMeal package in return.  Although only one is listed on the website, there are actually THREE different VitaMeal package options so that you can choose which one best suits your budget….

1) 1 VitaMeal Bag (30 child meals) = $19.95

2) 2 VitaMeal Bags (60 child meals) = $39.90

3) NTC $100 Package (150 child meals) = $100.00

If you would like to purchase either option 1 or option 3, please e-mail me so that I can arrange this, because as mentioned, I only have option #2 listed on the website.

Moreover, AZNAR WEAPONRY WILL BE DONATING 5% OF ALL OF JUNE’S PROCEEDS TO THE “NOURISH THE CHILDREN” CAMPAIGN.  This includes any additional products on the following webpage….www.nuskinny.nsedreams.com….as well as any purchases made from www.aznarweaponry.com

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?  BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD….IF EVEN FOR A MOMENT.

Thank you!!
