Two members of the Riverdale Country School community will be running on behalf of The Somarela Fund who is Caring to Run against AIDS/HIV benefiting the children that they serve in Botswana.
Carl Jeanniton, RCS parent and Team Somarela runner says, “This came about when Jay Crosby (Middle School history teacher) reached out to the Riverdale community (via email) seeking 20 runners to run for “The Somarela Fund”– a charity fighting the race against AIDS in Botswana where 40% of the population is infected with this terrible disease. There is quite a buzz stirring in the middle school about “Team Somarela”–T-Shirts are circulating and a handful of students went to Botswana over the summer (community service) to work in a local village in crisis. “
Guiselle Green, also part of RCS and Team Somarela notes that she is running for “children whose innocence and security are being taken away at the blink of an eye. I feel honored to be a part of this inaugural effort by Jay and his foundation – The Somarela Fund.

Let’s help Carl and Guiselle run for children in need!
