Walk for the World 2006
Walk for the World is a fun event for girls and leaders of all ages. Choose a route to match your walking ability, arrange some sponsors and come celebrate Thinking Day with us at the Michael Joseph Savage Memorial on the Waterfront. The three routes have varying starting times in the endeavour to have everyone arrive at the park by 12 noon. Once at the park there will be a half hour ceremony for Thinking Day and Walk for the World.
Funds raised will be split equally between UNICEF's Child Friendly School Project in the Solomon Islands, the objective of which is to to girls from poor and remote areas an education, and WAGGGS.
