[Walk4Peace2008KY]

I have collected over 500 pairs of shoes to send to Kenya and I am having a "Walk4Peace" Walk-A-Thon in my town of Frankfort, KY on 9/13/08 which I will collect more. I would like to have more videos to present as information for the walkers and to educate them on the Hook Worm, I only have one video at this time. This is something GOD has told me to do, save lives by collecting shoes and sending them to KENYA (The Kibera Project) is my mission now. God Bless All of you, I pray for you daily.
