Some of you have asked me what's next, if I intend to take up a new cause after the 1000 mile journey. I have a long way to go so I can't believe you all are asking this. I have a commitment to the women of the Congo to raise 50 thousand dollars. Women for Women International's Congo program is making a measurable difference for so many women. I may have to walk 5000 miles to get there. I need some corporate sponsors so please let me know if you are well connected. Also, for those who have donated please be sure to check if your employer has a matching program. I know many larger companies do.
But... Since you asked... The answer is yes. I do plan to continue walking to make a difference. My next project will be to build a school in Cambodia. Girls from poor families who are educated are less likely to be sold into brothels. But that's all I want to say right now except that it will be very exciting --- there will be a contest to name the school.
For now, let's stay focused on the Congo. Donate today. Spread the word. And I'll keep walking.
Hurray for my amazing sister!! Keep going! I'll be there soon.

SHE IS A VERY DEDICATED WOMAN WHO WITHOUT A DOUBT PASSIONATELY BELIEVES IN WHAT SHE DOES AND DOES IT WITH AN UNSELFISH PURPOSE ONLY TO HELP OTHERS AND RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT SITUATIONS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GO UN- NOTICED.

WON'T YOU CONSIDER THIS WORTHY CAUSE? PLEASE, TO THE THOUSANDS OF WOMAN OF THE CONGO. CAROL YOUR DEDICATION IS GREATLY ADMIRED. THANK YOU FOR CARING AND SHARING YOUR JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES. WALK ON...
ReplyDeleteGosh, thank you, Anon. I am touched by your concern. But I think the people reading this do get it, for the most part. My problem is, how do I reach the rest of the world? If I could come up with a clever video where I'm rapping with the dogs about the Congo and ask everyone for a dollar and I can get it to go viral on YouTube then I'd be set.
ReplyDeleteI'd love for more people to forward this information to all of their contacts. But I don't like forwarding requests for money to my friends so I certainly can't blame anyone else for not doing it.
I just need more exposure. Time to send out more press releases, I guess.
