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: The Gazelle Foundation thanks the 150 attendees who showed their gratitude for life and clean water by turning out in force for the 2019 Spring for the Water. The annual fundraising event raised enough money for the Austin-based Gazelle Foundation to help at least 4,300 people get daily access to clean water in Burundi, one of the poorest countries in the world. And a special thank you to Chikage Windler, Chief Meteorologist, CBS Austin for serving as the emcee for the evening.
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.
