You are invited to join the 6th annual Hike for Congo ~ the 1st time the event is in Los Angeles.
Hike for Congo 2016 is June 11! We will hike together and fundraise for our Congo Connect partners in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Hikers are encouraged to fundraise for the cause or make a donation. Hike for Congo is a fundraiser for Youth for a New Society, a youth peace group in D.R. Congo, and the #Telema peace movement. http://www.telema.
D. R. Congo has been in conflict for over 15 years -over 6 million people have died- and the conflict is ongoing. Human rights atrocities continue today. For a summary overview of the conflict see this video: congojustice.org
We will be hiking a 3.5 mile loop: the Solstice Canyon trail to Rising Sun trail in Malibu.
