Dear Friends,

On 17-20 July, 15 year old Kyle G. Baleva will join the International Four-Day Marches in Nijmegen. He will join about 45,000 participants and hike 40 kilometers per day for a total of 160 kms in four days.

Kyle will be participating in the 96th edition of the "Walk of the World" in Nijmegen for the 4th time in a row. He seeks sponsors to raise much needed money for orphaned children in the Philippines. The amount collected will buy books and other educational materials, supplement food allowances and some medicines for children who were orphaned because their parents have disappeared or died due to various human rights violations.

The Children's Rehabilitation Center's (CRC) "A Hand for an Orphan" program has been supported through this project for three years now. The CRC gives psycho-social support to children and their families to help them overcome the trauma they have experienced. They also visit different far-flung areas of the country where there are intensive military operations and there are high incidences of human rights violations.

In 2009, the money collected during the walk were able to support six orphans with food and educational allowances for one year. In 2010, the CRC was able to organize a peace camp where 40 orphans aged 3 to 16 were able to take part in. Last year (2011), the CRC was not only able to support some very basic needs of 6 young orphans, they were also able to organize another peace camp with about 100 participants coming from different parts of the country. Every year, Kyle trains hard to participate in the "Vierdaagse Nijmegen" because through these efforts, he wishes to give more orphans more opportunities for healing.
