WALKATHON on September 17, 2022
What have we planned?
We plan on organising a 5 km walkathon, on the 17th of September, with a starting point in the Maan village and a finish line in the Bhoirwadi village (both in the Mulshi Taluka) of Pune.
We also plan on taking brief breaks at few government schools that we have been associated with for several years, en route to the finish line, to glance over how the DoRBit foundation has contributed to their development over the years and how you could join hands to volunteer with us, to help these schools and their student’s blossom!
Who can join us?
ANYONE from ANYWHERE can participate in the walkathon! as its a global event where person can walk from his or her own location and support the cause.
We’d deeply appreciate if you could spread the word about the walkathon among your friends, family, and acquaintances.
