The Walkathon 2017 was a grand success!! Great weather, large turnout and lots of fun!!
Our heartfelt THANK YOU to all for your support and trust... !!
We raised $ 21,000 (net) from this Walkathon and you have helped us double the donations with matching from "Grand Challenges Canada"!!
All the money raised will be directed to our flagship program... "Early Intervention" of childhood disabilities in poor, rural India.
Handi-Care Intl., expresses its heartfelt gratitude to all volunteers who played their role in planning, organizing, executing, administrating and finally rejoicing the happy faces of children in India who are receiving the much needed Early Intervention from this initiative.
The highlight was the “Kids Walk”… Kids age 3 and more, enthusiastically participated in 1.5 KM walk, led by a youth volunteer… They cheered each other on, sang along the way and had a good time, while learning about why they are walking and how they can contribute to a better world!!
All the children’s activities – Face painting, Henna, crazy hair & several games, were well received and thoroughly enjoyed..
Many thanks to “South Indian delight” breakfast…. yumm… Pongal, Idlis, Sambar, Chutney and Mysore Pak, set the pace for the walk, talk, Yoga, mingle and a great day !!
Thanks to all the volunteers who took so much effort to prepare them in the wee hours of the morning !!
