Run for the Light
Every year volunteers raise the stakes and their banners on the 5k women's challenge in Hyde Park. Last year a feisty team ran for open borders (watch film here). This year we plan to put the need for innovative energy creation and far more of it on the map. All funds we raise will go to a shanty town in Ghana which needs serious infrastructure and development. To support this year's runners click here. To take part please email our centre - we need you to cross the line with us.
What Wofa wants
Check out this animated appeal for a shanty town in Ghana. It's hardly surprising our peers want all the mod cons, not the insulting offerings of goats, hoes and the status quo usually on offer. Click here and pass it on.
