JOIN THE GLOBAL PATHWAYS SCHOOL IN A RUN ACROSS THE GLOBE!
The Global Pathways School (GPS) (www.vcfoundation.ca) provides quality education, healthcare and community support to children and their families experiencing multidimensional poverty in rural India.
It costs just $2,000/year to send a child to our school. Our Sunbeams campaign is growing a global community of donors, known as "Sunbeams", who support our students year-to-year.
The Global Pathways Running Club
Every day our students walk between 1 - 3k/day to school. Over the course of the year, our students walk the distance across the globe.
In honour of this pathway to education and pathway out of poverty, we will together travel the 40,075 KM across the earth's equator and raise $100,000 which will fund 50 students at GPS.
DATE: August 4th 2021 - March 31st 2022
All activities are welcome: run, walk, bike, swim, canoe, and more.
100% of funds raised goes to the Global Pathways School programming.
