You can help build a village!

This unbelievable and rare global movement involves everyday people who are coming together to bring hope to the children in Rwanda. Rally for Rowley is supporting something unbelievable: A man crossing the Gobi Desert in China. For seven days, Rowley will run the equivalent of one marathon per day, on the last day he runs two marathons. He is raising funds for the Agahozo Shalom Youth Village’s (ASYV).

Rowley is from England, works in Hong Kong for a company headquartered New York. His friends all around the world will be supporting him by wearing a different colored sock for each of the seven days of his race, Rowley will be wearing the same colored sock as his supporters each day. It will be our way of “walking along with Rowley” to support Rwanda.

Often, when you see terrible news on TV, you feel helpless because there is not a lot you can do to help. You probably felt this way when the genocide was happening in Rwanda. Now you can make a difference by joining this global effort. You too can be part of this movement!
