Team-M is an elite Taekwondo demonstration team that started in San Jose,CA in 2004. Since then, the demo team has performed at more than 250 events throughout the nation & world spreading the art of Taekwondo everywhere they went. Not only are they fascinating to watch live, Team-M's performances and dedication are inspirational to Taekwondo practitioners worldwide. Team-M was inducted into the Taekwondo Hall of Fame in 2007, where the team was awarded Taekwondo Demo Team of the Year. After watching the demo team's performance at this event in New Jersey, local and international Taekwondo practitioners, masters, and grandmasters were surprised and fascinated to see such great talent from this young group. Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee, father of Taekwondo in the US, personally complimented on the team's job well done and looks forward to greater things from the team in the future. We want to thank Taepoong (www.taepoong.de) for providing us the inspiration to carry out our goals. As we continue to achieve further endeavors in our training,our goals are to introduce people to the art of taekwondo -- to spread it, and most of all to respect it

In India, more than 50 percent of women are illiterate. Living in poverty with a limited education greatly hinders these women from finding quality jobs to support their families. They face the dilemma of leaving their children to wander about the village as they work in the field. Their children are vulnerable and often end up with a substandard education. Our Women’s Empowerment project empowers poor women in rural villages with valuable sewing skills and a sewing machine so they can earn a respectable living and help their families. $75 provides training for a woman, $100 provides the sewing machine and $175 will both train and equip her. The women will attend a tailoring school and receive six months of training, where they will develop their sewing skills and learn about basic business practices. Once a woman graduates from the tailoring program, she will receive her own sewing machine. She will be able to start her own tailoring business from home and earn a daily income that can provide food and basic necessities for the whole family. The beauty of a home based business for women is that it not only provides income that can be used for food clothing and education, but since they are home it helps them improve their children’s opportunity for success. The children will be able to attend a better school and their mother will be home to help insure their homework gets done and that they are in school every day. Empowering a woman with training and a sewing machine is a great way to transform a family.

GitHub employees and a number of victims from other teams participate in an epic Dodgeball tournament. Each team that is entered donates at least $3000 to the charity pot. At the end, all of the donations will be split between 4 pre-choosen charities. In the process, thousands are entertained.

I believe some of the biggest problems in the world today to be related to the following areas. This fund is an ever evolving fund that selects the organizations I think can have the biggest impact in those areas. This fund is not charitable per se, it's not helping a specific group of people with rare medical conditions, in poverty, etc. but instead tries to select high-impact organizations that are advancing and protecting our race and planet, whose results will have to be judged in the longer term. - FOOD: we're eating WAY more meat than is sustainable. Eating meat and farming animals for their derivative products is the #1 cause of climate change, desertification, deforestation, pollution, poverty, etc. We're giving animals 3x the amount of food that we'd need to feed the whole planet. Completely nuts. - WOMEN: I strongly believe the lack of women and moms in the workforce, government and other power positions is one of the main causes for the violence and corruption that are present in this world. - FINANCE: Not a secret that finance is broken, but it might be the easiest to fix and the most impactful tool we have to help people around the world. - EDUCATION: Most of the world is uneducated, and most of it in the western world. Fundamentalism, religion and ignorance are cause for a lot of social problems and conflicts all over the world. - ENVIRONMENT: If we continue like this, we won't make it. --- I'll gladly consider suggestions about charities I might have missed at ste@bernardi.me. Thanks!

Don't we all love a triple threat? Well, my passion for these three causes - women in technology, tornado relief in the US, and education in the DR - were all birthed during three defining moments in my life. My first ever job at a wonderful, but largely male-dominated IT department inspired my desire to see more women studying and learning technology and computer science. My Spring Break trip rebuilding tornado-devestated houses in Alabama sparked my interest in disaster relief. And last but not least, my study abroad trip to the Dominican Republic stirred my longing to see better education brought to the country. These experiences have shaped me much more than I could have imagined and as I - and you all - contribute support - we will begin to see the budding of hope and the blooming of steadfast, life-changing progress.
