Othmane hachad 6A: For those kids who are starving in many countries, we sensitize our parents to pay money for this race, for each lap our parents pay some money (10,15,5 DHS). We ran last Friday, May 12th , 2017 in Moulay Abdellah’s stadium, Rabat: Morocco. Some people ran, others walked. We collected a lot of money!!! My classmates and I (the 6°A) collected 2850 DHS!! I swear, we are going to collect a lot of money.
