Thousands take part in World Partnership Walk at Stanley Park

World Partnership Walk at Stanley ParkBy DHARM MAKWANA, 24 HOURS

Thousands stepped up to take part in the World Partnership Walk at Stanley Park.

More than $2 million raised through Sunday’s fundraising event, marking its silver anniversary, will go to the Aga Khan Foundation to finance development programs in remote villages across Asia and Africa.

“The cause is about creating sustainable community solutions in the poorest communities,” said Shellina Lakhdhir, regional campaign manager. “These people are the ones who make less than $2 a day.”
