Ponce, Boriken/Puerto Rico (UCTP
Taino News) – One of the coordinators of the 2012 Boriken Peace and Dignity Run, Yari Sierra, hosted a final fundraising
activity at Ponce's Plaza del Caribe shopping mall to promote the upcoming Taíno
sacred run and related events in the Ponce area. Sierra is working hard to generate
the necessary funds to cover the expenses of this year’s Run scheduled to begin in two days.
Equipped with promotional material
brochures and summary pages, Sierra presented video clips of last year's
successful Peace and Dignity Run along with photographs to an interested public. Many individuals
stopped by her information table to learn more about this historic event and
the young Taíno community members that are putting this all together.
Participants and supporters of the Boriken
Peace and Dignity Run will camp out at Jayuya's "Cemi Cedetra y Casa Canales" located in Coabey on
Tuesday afternoon to begin preparations for Wednesday's Sunrise ceremony. This
ceremony will officially begin the 2012 Peace and Dignity Run on the island,
which links to an additional run down the East Coast of the U.S., and the main continental
run schedule to end in Guatemala this December. An additional run will take
place in Kiskeia (Dominican Republic) around the same time period.
.
Runners will make the journey from
CEDERTA in Jayuya to Utuado's Caguana Ceremonial Center on Wednesday
afternoon. Thursday's morning events will start at Jacanas from where runners
will trek to Tibes Ceremonial Park in Ponce. From Tibes, the runners will
head to Mayaguez with activities scheduled till the end of the week.
