My Commitment

I, Julie Mallari, commit to taking the Off the Mat, Into the World® Global Seva Challenge 2010 because I want to be a leader for change in my community and in the world.

I intend to raise $20,000 or more to help fund and build health and education programs that will provide tools and resources for the prevention of HIV/AIDS. If I reach the goal, I will journey with OTM to South Africa in February of 2011 to make a difference in the lives of children and to change my life.

The reason this journey is important for me is:
I want to be an agent of positive change in a world that greatly needs, and is fully capable of, change. I have never taken on such a huge challenge in my life, and I am eager to see what this challenge will inspire in me.

My personal hope for the year is:
To challenge myself in extraordinary ways and to realize my great potential. To invite others to share in this challenging journey, and to feel the benefits and empowerment of working together. To bring hope and support to the children in South Africa that will benefit from these funds.

I will step forth into this challenge in an act of SEVA, with the highest intention of making a permanent difference. I will rise up as a leader, with the support of my community, educating those around me and emerging from this experience as a more loving individual committed to taking action and creating positive change.
