Yessera volunteers held a walkathon in Austin, Texas on February 20, 2010 to raise funds for our friends at the Uganda Community School Project, which supports development in the village of Nawantale, Uganda. Advertising purely by word of mouth, a dozen Yessera volunteers and friends gathered, walked, ran, ate together afterwards and raised several hundred dollars in donations. Uganda Community Community School Project representative Eva Shaw appeared delighted. Yessera hopes that both groups can expand, doing more of the uplifting work that needs to be done.
