>Link Community Development is a UK-based program- the U of
>   I chapter is the first in the US.  Our mission is to
> promote global awareness through linking communities in
> the UK and US to communities in Ghana, Uganda and South
>    Africa, as well as by providing cultural education
>   programs.  The CU community's "sister community" is
>Northern Cape, South Africa, and currently- in addition to
>   the events we hold on campus- we go into elementary
> schools in the CU area to teach them about their linked
> community's culture.  This link includes games, crafts,
>    short lesson plans, a pen-pal program, and more!  
>
>   The Walk for Africa is part of our campus education
>    program, which we are hoping to expand upon in the
> upcoming years.  Long term goals of our program include
>   getting African issues into the mainstr! eam media,
> getting rid of the stereotypes that surround Africa and
>African cultures, and increasing the appreciation that our
> community (and other linked communities) have for other
>cultures around the world (of course, with a main focus on
>Africa).  The money raised at this event specifically will
> go towards supporting our link to Northern Cape, as well
>  as towards assisting our "sister schools" in improving
>  upon their education and HIV/AIDS awareness programs.

>   For more information on this program and how to get
