On Saturday 26 September, over 300 walkers braved the dust and wind and took part in the 10km Manly-Manado Walk, raising $26,000 for Compassion's Child Survival Programme in Manado, Indonesia.  This will go such a long way in making a difference to the lives of the mothers and babies from the Pengharapan Child Survival Program in Manado.

It is great to see the Manly community taking action that supports our Government's commitment to the UN Millennium Goal 4 (Improving Child Health) and Goal 5 (Improving Maternal Health).

It was a wonderful community day with young and old alike uniting to take action against poverty.  Thank you to all the local businesses and organisations who supported the event. Well done Seaforth Baptist Church for organising the event, and thank you to everyone who took part!
