“WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES” was a great success! Thank you to everyone for your generous contributions and support in this event. Steinbach, Manitoba I love your community spirit, and compassionate heart to reach out to others in need. All donations will go towards the education of orphan and disadvantaged children and youth, in Liberia, West Africa. For many in this nation going to school is only a dream. We will put as many students to school as possible again this year. We had approx. 70 walkers and raised over 12,500. We are leaving this open if anyone still wishes to donate towards School for Orphans you still have time.
