BK2HW: The Origins
This event has an interesting history behind it. It all started way back in 1988 when a young woman named Lorraine Jara spotted a distressing article in the newspaper. A boat with 2 people was having a difficult time staying afloat. Another boat with 2 men passed by at the same time – they had a radio but refused to help the people in distress, leaving them to their fate.
Through "BK2HW", Lorraine hopes to help people adopt a more caring stance towards people in need.
