Stride Bulletin Week 7-8 .... We passed our goal!

12/4/2018

2 Comments

 
​14,210 km

Where has the time gone? We are down to the last two weeks of our Virtual Walk and we have started on the return journey.  When the Virtual Walk was first envisioned, the 10,000 kilometers appeared daunting, but with the enthusiasm of all the participants we have passed the 10 000 mark and have our sites on the return trip back to Gaborone, Botswana. The real plus to “stepping” the return trip is that we will be able to visit so many of the other Community Based Organizations supported by the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Those we skipped over on our initial trek. The return journey will be a total of 20,508 km and as this bulletin is being written we have “virtually” walked, swam, cycled, skated, and skied 14,210 km.  Well done, everyone!

RISE
Rights Institute for Social Empowerment

 
The ultimate goal of RISE is transforming the lives of disadvantaged girls, children and young people. In delivering its programmes, RISE is working with and building the capacities of Community Based Organizations in Malawi. Our entry point to communities is the already established community structures that own the initiative. RISE main role is to come in with capacity building, technical support and continuous relationship building in effective human rights education and promotion strategies.

​

​RISE trains marginalized girls in making reusable sanitary pads using locally available resources for use and as a way of income generation to ensure sustainability in their lives.

VG4A says: “RISE has many other brilliant programmes; some work to break down cultural norms around child marriage, to empower girls, to keep girls in school, to educate youth about HIV/AIDS, to empower caregivers – this last must be where grandmothers come in.  Their website is well worth a visit!        http://www.risemalawi.org/programmes/programmes.html”

I suffered from what they called peripheral artery disease (PAD). I have been suffering for years, Me and my wife searched for a medical cure, and then we came across a testimony of a man who suffered the same and was cured by Dr Chief Lucky. So my wife and I contacted Dr Chief Lucky via an email and thank God he replied. I explained what was wrong and he sent me herbal medicines that helped heal me completely. I am happy to say that herbal medicine is the ultimate and Dr Chief Lucky I am grateful. You can contact him on his email: chiefdrlucky@gmail.com or whatsapp: +2348132777335, Facebook page: http://facebook.com/chiefdrlucky or website: https://chiefdrlucky.com/. Dr Chief Lucky said that he also specializes in the following diseases: LUPUS, ALS, CANCER, HPV, HERPES, DIABETES, COPD, HEPATITIS B, HIV AIDS, And more.
