Ride for Rafiki to feed orphans · ROHDE · MEPHISTO · BIRKENSTOCK · RIEKER · ARA 21 · Friday, March 30, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com · ROHDE · MEPHISTO · BIRKENSTOCK · RIEKER Riding a bike is usually done for fitness or pleasure, but next month it can help change the life of an orphaned child during the fifth annual Ride for Rafiki. Residents are encouraged to gather pledges and then join the fun on Sunday, April 15 between 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Oakville's One Health Clubs at 1011 Upper Middle Rd. E. Rafiki is an orphanage and school that cares for more than 30 children in Tanzania, East Africa, which was built and is supported almost entirely through gifts from the public and students in Oakville. "This year, our ride will help feed more kids than ever before. Ride for Rafiki will bring nutritious meals to the children of Rafiki and St. Lucia orphanages in Tanzania," stated a press release from Catherine Mulvale, founder of Strategies for LIFE that runs the Rafiki program. Aiming to raise at least $16,000 this year, organizers are asking residents to participate in the ride or consider sponsoring someone who is -- last year the event raised $19,000. Registration cost is $25 or free when you raise at least $150 per hour you ride. For information, visit www. RideforRafiki.ca, or contact RafikiFriends@yahoo.ca or 416-886-6777.
