On Sunday, May 9 , (tha’s Mothers’ Day) there will be another Walk for Development. I’m sure that you heard about the Walk of last year and how successful it was. We’d like to make this year’s just as much of a success.
The route this year is twenty eight miles long. It starts at St. Louis University High School, goes west through Ladue and ends up at Shaw Park in Clayton. The purpose of the Walk is to raise money for several causes. Among those who will benefit are Cooperacion, an organization in Honduras which will build houses and buy shoes for children; Providence Inner City School and Halfway House, a St. Louis set-up; Open City, another city group which wants to set up a free health center; and some money will be given to an Indian reservation near Granada, Arizona so that they can establish a day care center.
As you’ve probably figured out for yourself, just walking twenty eight miles is not going to raise a red, cent for these folks. But the object of the Walk is to get as many people as you can to sponsor you. Say you get your mother to give you a nickel for every mile you walk. That’s not bad, but you could probably get your father to give you a dime for every mile, you can probably get your granny to back you, etc. ..
Then on May 9 you walk as far as your legs’ll carry you and any money you earn gets turned in and sent to these various places. There should be applications for the Walk at your school. If you can’t find one with the Student Council, the head office or anybody else, call this number for information: 361-8148.
