Thankyou and Adios!
Well that's all from us for this quarter! Here at Elements we believe this is our year of the butterfly, we are working hard behind the scenes to transform the company and grow into something even more beautiful, as dancers, as teachers and as a community. So before we sign off, we have a beautiful quote from the wonderful and inspirational Maya Angelou:
“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”
Much love,
Ella and Element Arts

Santa Maria are a charity perform for and support. They are very passionate about educating their orphaned girls in Colombia -South America . They have just hit 25%, and are asking for help to go further.
In Colombia 37.2% of the 45.2 million inhabitants are below the poverty line, with 14.2% of those in extreme poverty.
This puts the children at most risk where unfortunately many are subjected to regular violence and physical abuse as well as a lack of education. It has been proven that a lack of education they will not be able to elevate themselves out of poverty in the future.
This is why the Santa Maria Foundation in the UK would like to establish a springboard that would enable the abandoned, orphaned, vulnerable at risk girls in Colombia to be supported through a safe platform of education to provide them with a more secure future. To do this they need to provide experienced teachers to help these vulnerable girls reach their full potential and elevate them from their disadvantaged circumstances.
