Provide solar lights, lunches and library books to 600 students in South Sudan

On April 29, 2016 all 7th and 8th graders at Alexander Graham Middle School will walk 12 laps around the track at school during the Any1Can Walk for Wisdom. This fun, festival-style walk-a-thon will raise awareness and funds for the Raising South Sudan project of Mothering Across Continents, a 501c3 nonprofit based in Charlotte, NC.

The Any1Can 2016 Walk for Wisdom will support two primary schools serving three villages in Unity State, South Sudan, where as few as 2 percent of boys and 1 percent of girls finish elementary school. South Sudan is the world's newest country as of 2011. Because of a long history of civil war, it remains one of the least developed countries in the world in terms of the economy, infrastructure, health and education.

Funds raised through the Walk for Wisdom are designated for:

• LIGHTS! Solar lights for the families of children attending these schools
• LIBRARIES! Books and educational materials for libraries at two primary schools
• LUNCHES! Nutritious school lunches for 300 students, five days a week

Just a small donation will go a long way in helping us meet our goal

• $10 = One book for a school library
• $30 = Three books for a school library
• $60 = One solar light for a student and two books for the library
• $100 = Lunch every day for one child for one year

The Any1Can Walk for Wisdom is a signature education and service learning initiative available to schools and communities in support of the Raising South Sudan project of Charlotte-based 501c3 nonprofit Mothering Across Continents.
