Welcome!
Run For Cover
10 Mile Run
On May 18th, 2009, make a difference in the lives of young people living in one of the hardest places on earth. Support the "Bomoyi Ya Sika" project, also called "Mercy Home". Bomoyi Ya Sika means "home of new life", and this is a very accurate description for this small but powerful work taking place in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. This project is near and dear to my heart as it is a long hoped for opportunity to provide practical assistance and encouragement to the young people of The Democratic Republic of Congo. Join the story with me...
During the run, it will be very encouraging for me to know the total amount pledged. Each mile completed will mean more support for these precious children and youth. Every $30 in pledges provides one full month of support to each child. That means one child living at Bomoyi Ya Sika will have safety, security, adequate food, water and nutritional supplements for one month. Beyond that, they will receive the love and compassion of the devoted men and women running the home.
Thank you for considering joining me in this project!
Sincerely,
Carolyn Whatley
