Race Preview: 2016 Overflowing Hope 5k (Forest Grove)
Overflowing Hope 5k
Clean water changes everything. 663 million people live without access to clean water—that’s approximately 1 in 10 people worldwide. Without clean water sickness plagues communities, economies suffer, and children don’t go to school.
We’re racing to change that for the people living in the area of Zacapa, Guatemala, giving them access to clean drinking water by raising funds for a shallow well. The funds will benefit the humanitarian organization World Help. World Help has been around since 1991 and in that time they have helped drill over 600 wells!
