POWERED BY MOSAIC
Zume is an international benefit race
for orphans in Zambia to compete against their American peers to raise money for the completion of their own children’s village.
IN JANUARY A CHILDREN’S VILLAGE IN LUSAKA ZAMBIA OPENED THAT RESCUED 22 ORPHANS WHOSE FAMILY SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT BY AIDS. WHEN COMPLETED THIS VILLAGE (INCLUDING HOMES, CLINIC SCHOOL ETC...) WILL HOUSE 197 ORPHANS.
A film team is partnering with humanitarian project leaders to create a race that will give orphans a chance to train for and challenge American children to a race. In a “health to heal” campaign, American students will be training and getting healthy in order to run. The money raised through pledges and sponsors will help build the village and create awareness of the crisis they face. Phase one is to travel to Lusaka Zambia to film and capture their stories. They are being invited to train and run in 2011 for ZUME. The American winner of ZUME wins a free trip to visit and stay with the orphans in Zambia.
But we need your help in order to build this race.
