Friends and sponsors of World Family Foundation (WFF) joined Board member Martha Lira in a local Camino in California to raise funds to help build more classrooms for Prashanti International School (PIS). The 20-kilometer walk was a powerful and inspiring opportunity to unite as a community to raise awareness about education being the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. At the beginning of the 20-kilometer walk, each pilgrim was given a photograph of a child for whom they were walking the local Camino and a scallop shell (the shell is seen on signs along the Camino de Santiago in Spain in order to guide pilgrims along the way). The grooves in the shell, which meet at a single point, represent the various routes pilgrims traveled, eventually arriving at a single destination. The single destination – or purpose – for both groups walking the Camino in Spain and California is to provide quality education in a loving and safe environment for all the children at PIS.
Love,
Martha
