1,300 brave poor weather to walk for education

Going the extra mile: The rain and the haze fail to dampen the spirits of participants during the Nalanda Walkathon 2014.

PARTICIPANTS of the Nalanda Walkathon 2014 could have stayed within the comfort of their homes but chose to brave the morning drizzle and haze in support of education.

The campaign organiser, non-profit organisation Nalanda Buddhist Society, was hoping to raise RM250,000 to go towards providing education for the community through its initiatives.
