Press Release Summary: Aga Khan Development Network's PartnershipsInAction walk has
been a great success for 14 years in promoting awareness and funds to alleviate
global poverty. American Health Care Academy partnered up with them this year in
Dallas on October 4, 2008 at the City Hall Plaza.

Press Release Body: Dallas, Texas, October 4, 2008 - American Health Care Academy
partnered with and actively took part in this year's Dallas Partnership Walk, an
initiative of Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A., held at the Dallas City Hall Plaza. More
than 4,500 participants attended to walk three kilometers to support the annually
held event that raises awareness and funds to alleviate global poverty.
American Health Care Academy volunteers were amongst the scores of teams from
corporations, universities, schools and other community organizations. Academy youth
volunteers helped in the Village in Action, where participants have an opportunity
to engage in activities and learn how people in developing countries create
solutions to overcome challenges of low income, poor health conditions and limited
educational opportunities.
Through volunteerism and sponsorship American Health Care Academy supports the 2008
theme for the Walk, "Planting Our Future." As the Foundation embraces the principle
of helping people to help themselves, American Health Care Academy strengthens its
commitment to reach out to train and certify as many as possible in CPR and First
Aid.
