Please join Tacoma Lesotho Connection and Flowers of Lesotho at the 5th Annual Booking It Run Saturday June 18th at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood, WA.
The 5K/2K cross country run/walk raises funds for educational scholarships in Lesotho, Southern Africa a country which is plagued by the HIV/AIDS epidemic and has over 180,000 orphans.
Registration starts at 8am, and the race begins at 8.30am. (I had posted earlier the deadline is Weds night, but you can in fact register at the race).
Flowers of Lesotho will be at the event with our note cards, buttons, and aloe jelly!
Aylie and Andrew traveled to Mohale's Hoek, Lesotho in the summer of 2010. We worked with Sr. Juliana and the people of the St. Camillus Centre for Orphaned and Vulnerable Children for 3 weeks, and while we were there the children made some beautiful artwork. We have used images of their cut paper flowers to make note cards and buttons in the hopes of raising money to send back to Sr. Juliana and the people of St. Camillus. Please see below for donation info, and thank you for your support and interest!
