Vancouver Sun – May 22, 2009
It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Other journeys, however, begin with a small group of women out to change the world. Journeys like the one started by Vancouver’s Ismaili Women’s Organizing Committee.
In 1985, a group of volunteers from the committee wanted to help people in the impoverished countries in which the volunteers were raised.
So with the simple words “rain or shine, walk with your family, bring your lunch,” they persuaded nearly 1,000 people to join them in a walk to raise awareness of global poverty.
Those first steps raised more than $50,000, and also gave birth to the World Partnership Walk, an initiative of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada.
via World Partnership a worthwhile cause to take a walk for.
