Second Walk For Development
Slated For St. Patrick’s Day
By Debbie Zauber
On a rainy day last year, 830
people walked for Greensboro’s
first Walk for Development. Their
ages ranged from 5 to eighty-
four. The total money collected
was $15,732.92.
Though proud of the success of
the walk last year, despite the
bad weather, the planners of this
year’s walk are hoping for a sun
ny day.
Walks are organized on a na
tional level by the American
Freedom From Hunger Founda
tion, a non-profit, non-govern
mental foundation, and Young
World Development, the youth
branch of the foundation.
The Foundation was initiated
by President Kennedy in 1961
for the purpose of enlisting the
private citizen in the fight against
hunger and malnutrition in the
world today. Walks are planned
completely by the local Walk
Committees.
JForty-two and a half percent
of all the money goes to two do
mestic projects; (1) YMCA Tu
torial Center, where second and
third grade children from a local
elementary school participate in
he activities from 2:00-5:00 p.m,
every school day. The program’s
goals are to provide additional
help with school work through
;utoring and skill drives as well
as to make available to under
privileged inner-city children out
side learning experiences by way
of movies, music, arts, crafts,
and field trips. The children swim
once a week and have a snack
every day.
(2) Economic Development
Corporation, located in Eastern
N.C. Reconstruction efforts for a
day care center which was heavily
damaged by fire will be aided by
the walk. Also, another very, suc
cessful health education facility
operated by the corporation is in
need of funds in order to main
tain its high level of work in
subjects ranging from birth con
trol to sickle cell anemia.
Another 42.5% of all money
is designated for use in interna
tional projects This will be a
hospital in Angola, Africa. Medi
cal Assistance Services, an Afri
can-based health organization, is
planning a hospital in a remote
doctorless region of Angola.

laria, polio, leprosy, and malnu
trition will be combatted by the
facility. The hospital will include
a surgeon, a labratory technician,
one pharmacist, five nurses, and
one administrator. Its functions
will include simple operations,
treatment, confinement, as well as
offering nurse training courses.
The remaining 15% of WALK
money collected will be sent to
the American Freedom From
Hunger Foundation for education
al programs both on the com
munity and national levels.
The two purposes of the walk
are to raise money and to create
an awareness of poverty and hun
ger throughout the world.
This year, on March 17, a 25-
mile route has been selected
which passes through various
types of neighborhoods. The route
will be well-marked and cars will
be available to pick up walkers
who can’t complete the route.
Registration is being done in
the homerooms now. If there are
any questions, one should call
274-4073, the WALK office. Peo
ple interested in helping but not
walking should call also. Work at
check points, driving, and other
duties is available.
Every walker must have a card
and at least one sponsor. Anyone
can be a sponsor. All money is
tax deductible. A lot of big busi
nesses around town have said they
would be glad to sponsor employ
ees, or family of employees.
Payment should be made by
check to provide a receipt for the
sponsor Checks should be made
