A Long Walk for Children has ended! It has been an incredible journey and one that will never be forgotten.

We are grateful for so many things, including:

1] That we made it 700 miles (1100 km) in safety in 30 days with no injuries or accidents
2] That our generous donors have helped us reach our fundraising goal of $250,000 (2 million rand)
3] That so many friends and family provided constant encouragement along the way
4] That the Rotary clubs of South Africa responded so magnificently, especially the East London Sunrise Club
5] That Bob’s employer, Morgan Stanley, and his clients supported this and allowed
his six-week absence
6] That we will be able to expand our services to another 40-50 children in the next few years!
7] That our children and staff had a remarkable journey to Cape Town that they will never forget
8] That Bob was able to return to his own family in one piece!
9] Lastly, that God has blessed this project in so many ways.

Thank you for your continued support!
