• "I’ve been searching for the right organization that is mindfully helping the people of Ethiopia in order to honor my delightful daughter who was born there in 2005. When I found A Glimmer of Hope, I knew immediately it was the right organization. I love that 100% of proceeds donated go to benefit Ethiopians, that they are truly working on a grass roots level in Ethiopia, and that they are a conduit for those who are passionate about helping the people of Ethiopia. A Glimmer of Hope is very progressive, the values behind it are solid and in line with Inner Fire Yoga’s values: compassion, kindness, the wellbeing of individuals and our greater community. Thank you to the founders and staff of A Glimmer of Hope for all that you do!" - Marit Sathrum
