John Bapst students in the Student Environmental Action Committee (SEAC) group have organized a 5K Peace Water and Wisdom Run/Walk to happen October 2 (pre-registration deadline Sept. 15) which will be held on the Bangor waterfront. SEAC students are working with the founders of the Barka Foundation, a Maine-based, UN-recognized non-government organization to help the people of Burkina Faso in Africa have access to education, sanitation, and clean water.
More information and registration information is available at the student made website:
