I will be walking at the Houston Partnership Walk to raise to help end hunger and poverty around the world.
WATCH the VIDEO to see how A better world is within walking distance!
What is the Partnership Walk?
Partnership Walk is a public event to raise awareness about how people can make a difference in ending global poverty .
The Walk brings together families, leaders in government, business, media and the arts as well as teams of corporations, students and community groups for a day of learning, entertainment and fundraising.
The Walk raises funds for innovative, cost-effective projects that improve the quality of life of the most vulnerable – especially women and children – in some of the poorest areas of Asia and Africa .
The Walk is a special occasion for people to act locally and make an impact globally.
What should I support your cause?
Because I strongly feel that it is my responsibility to help others who are less fortunate than I am. It is my responsibility as a human being, as a woman, as a mother to do what I can to help end global poverty.
We live in a nation where there is more food than we know what to do with, yet, there are people in this world who don't have enough to eat.
Did you know?
Over 1.2 billion people in the world live on less than $1 per day?
Did you know that another 2 billion people live on less than $2 per day?
That means that about half the world's people live on less than $2 per day
1.2 billion + 2 billion = 3.2 billion of the 6.4 billion people in the world.
I support the AKF through the Partnership Walk – because their goal is a helping hand – not a handout. Their goal is “teaches the man to fish”, not to just feed him once.
If you like I believe that we are truly blessed and live in a world where all our needs are more than met, where we can now focus on our wants ; then it is our responsibility to help other simply meet their needs in life!
