From Girls Gotta Run Foundation about Bonnie's trip and another terrific story:

This past Spring, we provided recommendations for GGRF supporter, WCA member and full time Philadelphia middle school educator Bonnie MacAllister in support of her application for this exciting Fulbright-Hayes teaching fellowship program in Ethiopia. She was selected! The group heads out on July 8 for a five week sojourn. You can follow along here:

During the past year, we assisted a brilliant young woman from Occidental College, Kayla Nolan, in designing a proposal to research the benefits of running for Ethiopian girls and women. With it, she won a very competitive fellowship her school offers to students to do summer research projects. She is now visiting, getting to know, and interviewing, in depth, members of all four of the teams for whom we provide some support, as well as learning an enormous amount about Ethiopia in
general. She arrived in Addis Ababa on June 2 and will be there until the end of July. Although the internet is erratic there, she is keeping a blog for anyone who wants to follow along:
