Sharing our stories around alcohol is the most powerful way we can help others - that's why the heart of this podcast is recovery stories. This week I'm chatting to a truly inspirational woman - Janna Kretzmar - Founder of the Earthchild Project.
Imagine dedicating your life to uplifting children through yoga and environmental education. That’s exactly what Janna Kretzmar, founder of the Earthchild Project, has done. On this episode of Tribe Sober, Janna opens up about her journey from studying agriculture to creating a non-profit that’s making a real difference in South Africa. Host Janet Gourand, who knows a thing or two about transformation herself, steers the conversation with a blend of curiosity and compassion.
Janna's story is one of vision and perseverance. She shares how her experiences in Brazil and inspiration from a yogi’s book led her to start the Earthchild Project in 2007. The project partners with schools and teachers to provide long-term support, focusing on yoga and environmental education. Over the years, Tribe Sober has raised more than R220,000 for the project, benefiting 880 children. But it’s not just about the numbers.
Janna talks about the real-life impact on these kids, from boosting their self-esteem to teaching them valuable life skills. She also delves into the challenges of funding and sustaining such an initiative, offering a candid look at what it takes to keep the dream alive. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in community work, positive role models, and the transformative power of holistic education.
