    Sedona AZ (April 9, 2015) – Hillside Sedona is pleased to announce that the Umbrella Project Event will take place on April 24, 25 and 26th and will benefit a underprivileged school in Costa Rica.

    20150409_hillsideStarted in 1990 by Hilda Brown, the Umbrella Project is a 501c (3) nonprofit raising funds for various causes. In years past, proceeds from the sales of the umbrellas have been donated to victim charities such as the 2006 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2010 Haitian earthquake and the 2011 Eastern Japan earthquake and tsunami. Funds have also been donated to assist other schools in need, nonprofit groups and organizations serving children around the world.

    Students and chaperons from two Arizona schools, Verrado High School and Desert Edge High School will be traveling to Costa Rica to mentor and paint umbrellas with La Guaria Students on March 18th, 19th and 20th. These umbrellas will be brought back to Sedona and be on display during the event.

    Basic umbrellas are sent to schools around the country that choose to participate, students decorate them and once completed are returned to Arizona to be put on display during the weekend of April 24th. The general public can donate money for an umbrella, the money raised will go directly to this years’ beneficiary the La Guaria Elementary School in Costa Rica. La Guaria, currently has 21 students, little resources and no technology department. The principal also carries the role of teacher, librarian, custodian and cafeteria worker. The funds will be used to purchase a computer so that the children can experience life outside of their small town and for supplies to enhance their learning experience, including adding books to their library.

    “We are thrilled that the Umbrella Project has chosen to showcase the beautiful umbrellas made by students across the country again this year”, said Karen Reynolds, property manager.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
