Global poverty isn’t the type of problem you solve on a Sunday morning. Indeed, the dimensions of the problem seem so overwhelming that one wonders how it can be solved at all.
Yet every individual can do a lot to help people around the world overcome poverty, and believe it or not, we can do so this Sunday morning. For Sunday May 27 will mark the Aga Khan Foundation Canada’s 28th World Partnership Walk to increase awareness and raise funds to help fight global poverty.
The Walk began right here in Vancouver in 1985, when a group of volunteers from the Ismaili Women’s Organizing Committee persuaded nearly 1,000 people to join them in an effort to combat world poverty.
