Annual Freedom Run for Literacy

On June 29th we participated in the Annual 5k freedom run which was held at the Greenwood freedom grounds.

This was the most attended run so far. We had more than 180 participants who joined the OMS and Mercy Inc. teams at the event. More than $9,000 was raised for Bridge to Reading through the event.

These funds will go towards providing teaching and learning resources to our many learners and tutors. Besides providing notebooks and primers, we also provide chalkboards and chalk to churches where classes are held. Remember it takes about $12.50 to teach one person to read. Your giving is appreciated.

The Freedom Run was a true family event.
