Description:

WHAT WE DO
Whole Kids Adventure, a Texas domestic non-profit corporation, was organized to provide a unique child development model that will focus on establishing healthy eating habits and increasing physical activity levels in preschool age children and their families in order to prevent the development of obesity and related health problems.

Our priority is child obesity, an issue that influences most families in America.

OUR UNIQUE MODEL
WKA will address the growing obesity epidemic in children, and adolescents, by implementing prevention programs for families and their children, and offering health education to the community and general public.

OUR GOALS
We support our mission by providing reduced tuition fee to teenage parents, low-income individuals, and minority ethnic groups with no other available resources.

In addition, Whole Kids Adventure will take the community garden and community food co-op goal to a whole new level. We are thrilled to implement Austin's first Shared Harvest Program in a school.

OUR CONTACT
Please find more detailed information at www.wholekidsadventure.org and don't hesitate to contact our Founder Lene via news@wholekidsadventure.com for any questions you may have!

OUR NEEDS
In order to open our eco-healthy and all organic school in an low-income area, we'll need the help of our community - WKA maintains a long wait list and in order to enroll low-income families, we're asking you to help support us by donating green toys we need for our center opening.

Please consider sponsoring a toy off our wish list through the following site:

www.moolka.com (Click on Gift Registry - then type in "Whole Kids Adventure" to find our children's wish list).

In addition, we are always looking for Volunteers & Interns - get involved today and make a difference in your neighborhood!

Please see our postings (CAREER) at www.wholekidsadventure.org.

THANKS SO MUCH!
