Walk at West Chester Univ. to help S. Africa AIDS children

West Chester University's Hollinger Field House will be the site of the WCU Honors College's Aid to South Africa Benefit, a relay walk and fair to be held March 31 from noon to 6 p.m.

Live local bands, jugglers, magicians, and a moon bounce will be among the family-friendly sights and sounds of the fair. Relay teams can sign up to walk the indoor track for $10 per team, but entrance to the fair is free. Donations will be accepted throughout the event.

All proceeds will benefit H.E.L.P. Ministries Soup Kitchen, which helps feed poor South Africans, and Sparrow Village, an organization that adopts children infected with HIV. The WCU Honors College sent a group of students to South Africa in May of 2006 to work with communities in need, and a group is planning a return trip next year.
