Team Stroller Strides - La Mesa
Hey everyone!
Thank you for visiting my 2008 walktheirwalk fundraising page. Please consider sponsoring me as I walk 12-miles on Saturday, September 13, 2008 to raise funds necessary to build fresh water wells in Twachiyanda, a community in Zambia.
Zambia is an arid country and the community of Twachiyanda is located in one of the driest places within Zambia. 40% of people living in Twachiyanda lack sustainable access to safe water supplies. The people of Twachiyanda, mainly the women and young girls, must walk five to six miles each way to collect water for their families, and in many cases the water they collect is contaminated. When people have compromised immune systems as a result of HIV and AIDS, drinking contaminated water could be a death sentence.
Fresh water wells are a simple solution to this life-threatening problem. Our fundraising efforts will provide fresh water to an entire community of people. Will you help me make this happen?
Please support me by making a tax-deductible donation on my web page. Donating is simple and completely secure. World Vision will use these gifts to build fresh water borehole wells in Twachiyanda. YOU can be the difference in a child's life and future!
