HWN Organizes 5K Walk for The Drake House

Sunday, October 1^st, 2023, an auld lang syne made once again for a reoccurring 5K walk, a fundraising event at Webb Bridge Park, organized by Hindu Women’s Network (HWN), Atlanta Chapter: an initiative of World Hindu Council of America (VHPA).

Energized by the overpouring of support from past year, HWN, reinstated their efforts to bring an earnest, beseeching spirit to raise funds for The Drake House. A 501c3 non-profit organization, The Drake House, work to respond to the growing number of women and children experiencing homelessness in North Metro Atlanta. Their goal is to keep single mothers and their children united under one roof as they work toward self-sufficiency

The walk commenced on schedule at 7:30 am and was self-paced. A family friendly walk saw children, adults, and old, excited for the walk. With fall punching the clock the weather was perfect to enjoy the beautiful location. The easy trail was marked with VHPA signs for convenient navigation of the participants. An aquamarine t-shirt with 5K walk logo was handed over along with registration. The still green park had a blue wave streaming down with a purpose. Granola bars, water bottles and a lot of vivacity were provided at each successful completion of the track. TV Asia gracefully doled out the coverage of the indefatigable event.

An initiative of the women, by the women, for the women with the sole motto of empowering women. HWN is a forum that gives voice to the Hindu women’s perspective on contemporary issues through programs that enrich holistically; the physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual development of woman. The HWN spearheaded this fundraising 5K walk and set out, yet another milestone for Hindu Heritage Month of October 2023.

HWN volunteers commenced the groundwork by connecting broadcasting and aggregating registrations for the noble cause. Be it India’s first Covid vaccine or setting a precedent by leading and governing the country, women now are at the forefront. The giving and sacrificing nature of a woman nurtures the much-needed change we experience today and will be the reason for the future transposition in the society.

HWN is enthusiastic to come back each year with bigger and better fervencies. HWN looks forward to accessorizing with your enterprise and motivations. You can be instrumental to the growth of HWN with your support.
