Organiser's description

Caring Shepherd's International is a nonprofit organization that is building a library and conference center in Solwezi, Zambia. The structure is nearly complete and needs to be stocked with library books. Class sizes in Zambia are often as large as 87 students per class, making learning difficult. Children who do not get an education often have few options besides working in the copper mines. Our library will provide tutoring for students as well as resources for adults and pastors. The conference center will be used for marriage conferences and other educational events. Proceeds from the race will help us send teams to Zambia to stock the library and minister to the local community.
