JOin In the Walk for Wisdom
We have an incredible opportunity to work together to help students in Africa. As part
of a global service learning initiative, our Rowan-Salisbury community will be hosting
a Walk for Wisdom SM to raise awareness and funds to support education and literacy
in South Sudan, the world’s newest and most fragile country.
Open to all Rowan-Salisbury Schools, Classes and Clubs
ABOUT THE WALK FOR WISDOM
The Walk for Wisdom project of 501c3 nonprofit
Mothering Across Continents SM started in 2014 in
Charlotte, NC, and has since grown into a nation-wide
initiative to benefit vulnerable children in some of the
world’s most remote and impoverished locations.
“Walk for Wisdom” is a symbolic name inspired by
the former Lost Boys of Sudan and their 1,000 mile
walk to reach safety and receive an education.
Today, many students
in South Sudan walk
45 minutes or more
to access clean water
and attend school
each day.
