Many countries have no law to protect disabled persons. They have no right with respect to health care, education, employment, recreational activities, independent life, transportation, among other things. They feel second class, rejected, without respect and value, and with no future.
Our mission is to bring hope to the hopeless! To fight against the evil soldiers (land mines) and for the rights of its victims and be committed to bring justice, peace and resources to all human being, especially to those who are victims of war.
What is the Running For Hope Inc?

We specifically desire to provide for those in the third world who have lost limbs as a result of war or land mine accidents or some other misfortune with the physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual assistance needed to regain dignity, respect and hope.
