20th Anniversary - #HELPWALK20
We invite you to join HELP in celebrating 20 years of supporting Haiti's most deserving students! We are celebrating our 20th birthday with a Walkathon (#HELPWALK20) following the 5 mile route taken by HELP's first student, Isemonde Joseph, from her home in Cite Soleil to her university, when she couldn’t afford the $1 daily bus fare.#HELPWALK20 symbolizes the commitment and dedication of our students to improve their lives and the lives of others. We welcome all. For those preferring a shorter walk, we will have locations along the route where you may join the festivities, which end at the HELP Center with traditional Sunday pumpkin soup and Haitian beer. Visit the #HELPWALK20 registration site for more information, to register or to make a donation in honor of HELP's 20th Anniversary!!!
