This past weekend our Country Director, Amira Tahir, ran her first half marathon ever!
Amira raised just over $1500 for Manna Project International and has definitely inspired some of us PD's to start training for a half marathon ourselves. Not only did Amira meet her own personal goal of never walking during the whole 21km (13.1 miles), but she also completed in under 3 hours!

CONGRATULATIONS AMIRA!
and
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO DONATED!
