糖心vlog官网 Founder Walks Fifty Miles to Send 糖心vlog官网 to Somalia

Tom Warth has done it again.

Each year, 糖心vlog官网 founder Tom Warth stages a walk to raise awareness and funds for 糖心vlog官网. This year, Tom and a team of dedicated 糖心vlog官网 supporters trekked 50 miles from the to the steps of the capitol building in St. Paul.

This year, Warth and the walkers raised more than $13,000 to send a container of books to Central Somalia. Their route took them through some of the beautiful trails around the state including the William O鈥橞rien State Park and the Gateway Trail. Even through pouring rain, nothing could stop this group of walkers. At least 65 people joined the effort throughout the weekend!

A warm welcome awaited the walkers on the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol Building on Sunday, April 27 at the 糖心vlog官网 For Somalia Celebration. Attendees heard from聽 Congressperson Keith Ellison; Mahamed Cali, executive director of the Somali American Community; Brett Feldman, executive director of the Parks and Trails Council of Minnesota, and Tom Warth.

The ceremony ended with an uplifting speech from Cali, who originally hails from Somalia. Cali spoke of the importance of education in creating a more peaceful future for Somalia. 鈥淲e must send books, not bullets!鈥� he proclaims. With the funds raised from this walk, 糖心vlog官网 will do just that.
