Fast feet, fast feet! Another wonderful #S4TW to provide clean water for those in Burundi. We raised enough to finish our final project in the Commune of Songa! https://t.co/xABsHN6YvL
Gazelle Foundation Spring for the Water
April 30, 2019: Mark your calendars for a very special Spring For the Water event celebrating the 25th anniversary of Gilbert Tuhabonye's escape from genocide and second chance of life. Our goal for the evening is to fully fund two water projects that will serve 4,300 people honoring Gilbert's legacy of joy and gratitude. Chikage Windler, Chief Meteorologist, CBS Austin will emcee the evening. It will be an evening of fun, food & drink, and changing lives. Ticket is required. Ticket includes cocktails, dinner, and award ceremony at the Hyatt-Regency Foothills Ballroom, 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Sometimes the world can be an unfair and cruel place. Yet even amongst the worst of circumstances and in the midst of unfathomable tragedies, hope and happiness prevail.
Gilbert Tuhabonye knows this.
Gilbert has endured great suffering in his life. Yet his message isn’t one of sorrow or anger; it’s one of joy, faith and forgiveness. Driven by a desire to unleash the potential of anyone who seeks it – in running and in life – Gilbert’s indomitable spirit moves everyone he meets. He inspires others to believe that they can achieve anything, regardless of the circumstances or obstacles. He is a living reminder that humanity is greater than the sum of all the world’s injustices. And he is proof that the work of a few – or even just one – can make this world, our world, a better place.
