Debbie Schachner Walks with Faith
June 28th, 2006 | by EvergreenRotary |Last June 16th, Debbie Schachner came to the Evergreen Rotary Club meeting to seek donations for a library in Kenya.
Debbie Schachner walks across the United States to share her mission. Her experience as a volunteer teacher in Timau, Kenya has opened her eyes to the extensive educational needs of the children in that community.
“I (yearn) to positively impact the entire community, to empower each person to improve their life as well as the lives of others. Due to the Kenyan government implementing free primary education, I felt that the most beneficial action I could take would be to build a public library,” she writes in her website.
“When I’m done with the hike, I’ll be going back to Kenya to help them build it,” she told Rotarians.
Her goal is to hike the American Discovery Trail (ADT) from California to Delaware to encourage people to support her cause.
“As I hike across the country I want to motivate people to search inside themselves to find their own talents and passions, then to take action by applying those gifts to the needs they find in the community. Everyone can do something!”
