Let's Walk for Africa
Hopetoun Gardens, Australia
Date: September 09, 2012
Let's Walk for Africa is a walk of solidarity with the people of Africa and, in particular, the grandmothers who look after children orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
Participants can walk 10km (starts at 9am), 5km (starts at 10am), 2km (starts at 11am) or round the church building (starts at 11.30am) and are asked to make a donation themselves and/or ask people to sponsor them. Last year, some of our grandmothers said it was refreshing to ask their children and grandchildren to sponsor them!
Everyone is welcome. Register on the day. The walk is followed by a bowl of African soup and our Social Justice Sunday Service at 12.30pm.
