Walk for Children is an event which occurs during summer and it is directed towards anyone and everyone. The annual walk occurs at Toronto Zoo during August; the walk begins at 8:30am and ends at 1:00pm followed by bbq lunches, children's entertainment, gifts and prizes, and games (The Herbie Fund, 2013). In order to attend this walk, individuals are required to pay a minimum fee which includes their trip in the zoo and all proceeds will directly go towards the Herbie Fund (The Herbie Fund, 2013). Families who participate in this walk are welcome to do so at their own pace, without following a leader (The Herbie Fund, 2013). This is a great opportunity for families to come out and support the Herbie Fund. During this walk, families can bond with each other and discuss the importance of helping children globally. As children begin to learn about this foundation, they become aware of diverse needs of children worldwide. As a result, this will have a long term effect on their learning; as they will develop an open perspective towards individuals who are living in different parts of the world. In addition, children are given child friendly 'play' passports from which when they participate actively, they have the option to collect stamps which are found in different sections of the zoo (The Herbie Fund, 2013). This fun and enjoyable walk is a great contribution to the Herbie Fund and in return the participants receive; zoo admissions, free parking, walk for children t-shirt, etc. For further information, please visit: http://www.herbiefund.com/wftc.asp

We agree with you Luxshana, you have mentioned a really important point about teaching children worldwide about other children who are suffering. Also, this walk is a great way for others to donate. We hope you can make it to the walk next year! Thank you for your comment.
