Day 2 of my 252km Walk
28/03/22 22:28
Day 2 - done and dusted
The second leg done and dusted. Day 1 37 km and now day 2 30 km.
The day started off well but started my walk late due to the expectation to see the local chief of Dikgonnye and gosh that was a terrible idea. I am convinced that some people are just never happy to receive assistance from people unless it benefits someone politically.
Anyway the walk was long, the first 18 km was fun. My mother was brave enough to walk the first 15km with me. With her bad knee I am happy that at least she kept me company and journey seemed shorter and easier than anticipated.
The muscles are getting used to the walking and Day 2 I feel good and hopeful that I can make it today.
With this I am just happy to say I am lucky to be doing this with my parents because they are just so wonderful and caring. I feel like a small little baby ha ha .
My reason, purpose and commitment to follow through with this project still remains what it is.
The 67 km I have walked has revealed that the young girls who live in these areas are in cattle posts and far away from services or any human interaction.
The children have to walk a little over 6 km to school and another back to the cattle post. This on its own is a challenge and poses a threat to educating the children.
Therefore I still hope to spread enough information about feminine hygiene so that we may give our girls an elevated opportunity to attend their school lessons without any disruption.
Our girls are the future mothers and leaders of tomorrow.
We have to work together and device ways in which the girl child can be fully protected from any issues of abuse and negligence. Therefore it’s important to provide the basic necessity of a sanitary pad, so that they face any challenge put before them with an open and educated mindset.
