Dear Friends,

It is the time of year that we thank the kind generosity of our friends and benefactors. This year has been particularly successful as we have provided programs in exercise, discipline and focus for young people in Spanish Harlem.We have continued to be one of the few programs that provide self-defense and a systematic program to develop the lungs and enhance the self-esteem of asthmatic children. We have also continued to be successful in providing ADH and ADHD students with a program that develops their ability to focus and manage their energy.

This year we accepted our first paraplegic student who has been increasing successful in both keeping physically active and learning self defense. The anger management program and our initiative to work with ex-gang members have matured during the last year and we look to extend it during 2008. Finally our Sensei, Richard Garcia has been nominated to be inaugurated into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame.

It costs about $1500 per year per student to provide our program. This cost is made up of tuition from families, grants from foundations and the generosity of individual donors.

 
t is at this time of year we send our annual appeal for support. 81% of the families in our community live below the poverty line and it is the generosity of donors such as yourself that allows a neighborhood child to have the opportunity to develop the focus and self-discipline necessary to be successful in school and later life. Your support for our program for young men seeking to leave a gang can make the difference between a productive life or a life spent incarcerated.

A gift of any size is appreciated and tax deductible. A gift of $375 provides the initial three month program that brings a student to their first belt promotion. Gifts of $500 + receives a handmade action figure from Vietnam.
