Long may they rock!"

DONOR SPOTLIGHT - LaUna Huffines
LaUna Huffines is mother of four,
grandmother to 15, an internationally
recognized lecturer on spirituality and
healing, and author of four books,
including her best seller Healing with
Light (translated into 8 languages). This
amazing octogenarian is also a committed
Seva supporter and promoter.
"Seva's work is just so practical," LaUna
told Seva during a recent conversation.
She looked at several organizations and
was excited that with Seva, for as little as
$50 or $100, "you could do something real."
There aren't very many ways that you can
change a person's life for so little.
In 2005, LaUna began giving Seva's Gifts
of Service to her grandchildren. "Every year
around Christmas I asked myself what could
I give to my family that they needed? The
truth was, they didn't need anything. Too
many gifts end up in the back of a closet
or in the garage." Instead, she started the
holiday tradition of giving gifts of "sight"
from the catalog she receives from Seva
in the mail each year.
"My grandchildren now just expect to
get a gift of 'sight' from me and they
really do look forward to it. I am not just
imagining that!"
Seva's Gifts of Service makes great Mother's
Day gifts too. One year on Mother's Day
LaUna decided the best way to honor her
four daughters-in-law was to provide sight
for mothers in Tibet, Nepal and Guatemala
through Seva.
LaUna is also one of Seva's great promoters.
During a recent 'Tour of Gratitude visit to
Texas, LaUna invited Seva Executive Director
Jack Blanks, Board member Gary Hahn and
Development Director Julie Nestingen, to dinner at a nearby restaurant to meet her family and
friends. LaUna asked the trio to share stories
about Seva. The attentive group listened
and asked many thoughtful questions.
By the end of the evening Seva had 10
new members in the "Seva family" and
donations enough for 40 people to receive
cataract surgery!
Promoting the value of "service" comes
naturally to LaUna, the founder and
president of Path of Light Studies, a
metaphysical organization focused on
spiritual alignment. Along with her sister
Jean St Martin, they are busy giving
workshops and lectures on healing and
working for the betterment of humanity.
