Overview

Mission

To promote individual and group efforts toward furthering world peace through increasing the awareness of the earth as a planet, broadening understanding of international relations and environmental concerns while seeking to foster international friendship through personal contact.

What it reported doing in 2024

This year Planet Walk continued its walk from Capetown to Botswana. We are working with an organization, VSee, expert in providing health care through telemedicine in rural underserved areas of developing countries. Planet walk is acting as coordinator connecting local government officials with VSee to facilitate this plan. In addition we continue speaking in schools and developing chapters of childrens and teens Planet Walk Club. This effort is backed by the US Globe program. We also speak to churches, governing bodies, and local organizations such as Rotary Clubs, to encourage practical and beneficial environmental practices, and encourage support of basic human rights.
