The 2015 Walkathon encourages all participants to raise Rs 1,000 for the cause or to donate the amount in advance. Participants will walk for five kilometers in solidarity with schoolchildren who attend public schools in rural areas and are forced to walk for four to six hours each day just to receive education. But despite that, the quality of education they receive has much to be desired.Adding more fun to the event will be musical performances by the Axe Band as well some students at the end of the walk.
Teach for Nepal will utilize the funds raised for the schoolchildren it works with.
Registrations will begin at 10 AM the same day.
