Congratulations to Rob Lehman for completing the Antarctica Marathon!

You may remember Rob, our intrepid BRAC intern who chose the unconventional fundraising method of running a marathon in Antarctica to support BRAC’s Employment and Livelihood for Adolescents (ELA) program in Uganda.
Rob’s mission was successful regarding both his objectives: he exceeded his fundraising goal of $10,000, and he managed to complete the marathon despite spraining his ankle the week before. Here’s the proof:

Our heartfelt thanks to Rob and those who donated to his cause. The support of such passionate and inspiring individuals is what helps us believe that with dedication and hard work, poverty truly can be a thing of the past.
