Run Around The World With WEP!!!
We run in NYC and WEP students run and walk in India! For our annual fundraising run this year, we joined the Achilles Hope and Possibility Run in Central Park in NYC. Runners on WEP’s team were fundraising towards WEP’s work with girls in India. It takes $250 to send 1 WEP girl to college for 1 year. This race was a great way to have friends and family sponsor you to help one student. WEP would like to thank all who participated!
