Join the Walk for Development
On May 8 and 9, 1971, more than 1 million people planned a walk to raise money for underdeveloped areas through the International Walk for Development. Around 350 communities decided to participate. A walker would find a sponsor who would pay between 10 cents and $20 for every mile walked and 15% of the raised funds went to the American Freedom from Hunger Foundation.
