After experiencing the great needs of the people in Cape Verde. (The average worker makes approximately fifty cents per hour equivalent U.S. dollars). I wanted to continue to help. When I returned back to school I started a charity and decided the best way to raise funds was to organize a Fun Run. My plan was to solicit the support of the university professors and create a Race the Professors run. I arranged for all of the City permits and contacted sponsors to provide free massages and refreshments. Once again we had a limited budget to advertise our Fun Run but it is amazing how word spreads when there is an event that attracts everyone’s interest.
