Oak Tree Run

Oaktree is a great ministry that helps orphans with a scholarship and a mentor after they graduate from High School. I believe as Christians, we are called to care for orphans, so I'm doing my part by running and I'd like to encourage those with the heart, to donate. The more money donated, the harder I will run!

On Saturday, October 15, 2016, Oak Tree Project will be partnering with a race for underprivileged children in Korea to raise funds for scholarships for orphans in South Korea. Orphans in Korea are on their own after they graduate from high school and many struggle to get by financially and emotionally. It is especially difficult for those who get into college who have to work while studying. The stress and loneliness leads to depression and desperation for many, which can lead to prostitution, joining gangs, or even suicide. Oak Tree Project is a scholarship and mentoring program designed to not just help the orphans have funds through college, but to also receive the emotional support and guidance they need to succeed.
