The Great Migration 5k Walk to STOMP Out Poaching is back!
Our 2nd Annual Great Migration 5k Walk is September 10, 2011 and we need your support more than ever!
Last year we raised $3,000, which allowed us to get the land for the Living School in Northern Tanzania.
Here, human vs. animal conflict is extremely high. This Northern Tanzania Maasai tribe fights the local wildlife (elephants, lions, zebra, etc.) for rights to the only water source within 8 miles. It's dirty and polluted with fluoride and is causing severe birth defects. A well would significantly reduce the human vs. animal conflict over water and would provide a much needed clean source of water for the Living School students.
This year we need to raise $9,000 for the school's well, which needs to be established before we can begin building the school. This will ensure that the school is located close to the well where students can meet their family obilgations of gathering water while still getting an education.
EVENT DATE: Saturday, September 10, 2011 from 8am to 11am
LOCATION: Beach Park #1, 2509 Barnard Way, Santa Monica, CA 90405
(1 block north of where Ocean Park Blvd hits the beach.)
$5 parking is available at 2600 Barnard Way. Lot opens at 8am
