WALK AGAINST POVERTY
Building Futures Together (BFT)
sponsors its annual fund-raiser, the Tenth Annual Walk Against Poverty on
September 19, 2009 at Flushing
Meadows Corona
Park in
Queens, New York.
The walk has been the
fund-raising activity of choice of the members of the Board of BFT for the
simple reason that it is fun and invigorating and very public. The first
Walk Against Poverty began in the year 2000 and has taken place every year
thereafter.
The purpose of the Walk is to
raise awareness that poverty is the most vile illness inflicting three
fourths of the world’s population including the provinces of Samar Island,
considered one of the poorest if not the poorest provinces in the
Philippines and a primary recipient or beneficiary of these walks. More
importantly, the Walk hopes to generate sufficient funds for the
organization to run its programs of help and hope – a three-prong, community
based programs, livelihood, health management and education, applied
simultaneously, one community at a time.
