Congratulations to everyone who walked on treadmills at NCYC! In total, NCYC attendees walked for 2,234 minutes at the three-day conference! That will pay for more than seven students’ scholarships for one year! On behalf of those students, we extend our sincere thanks. They now have the security of being able to go to school and the opportunity to live a better life.
Browse through the it’s easy to help section, choose a way to do something about poverty, and let us know if you have questions or other ideas! We want to hear from you.
We’ll post some video from NCYC here. Check out our Facebook group for more video and pictures, and tag yourself!
Also, let us know why you walked with the poor… post a comment on this blog!
For those of you who weren’t at the National Catholic Youth Conference, held Nov. 8-11 in Columbus, Ohio, we hosted an interactive exhibit that included live webcasts with youth in developing countries, a replica of a home in a developing country, and treadmills youth could walk on to literally walk with the poor, with every minute walked resulting in $1 donated to the scholarship program.
