UCLA students put on their walking shoes Sunday in Santa Monica to support populations in the developing countries of Asia and Africa at the 17th annual Los Angeles Partnership Walk.
The walk is operated by the Aga Khan Foundation, a nonprofit and nondenominational organization founded by the spiritual leader of the Shia Ismaili Muslims. The foundation initiates and supports projects such as the Partnership Walk that target poverty, poor health, illiteracy and hunger in rural areas of the developing world.
Sunday’s walk worked as a fundraiser through exhibits and speeches from community leaders, such as Dr. Franklin Gilliam Jr., dean of UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, and Richard Bloom, mayor of Santa Monica.
