" LONDON www.womensnmdr1shoes.com , March 25 (Xinhua) -- British politician Lord Bates will start his new journey of 3,000 km ""Walk for the Olympic Truce"" in April from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro to raise funds for Unicef. Michael Bates, 55, a member of the Hourse of Lords, announced Thursday that he is setting out on a 3,000-km solo-walk from Buenos Aires, the host city for the 2018 Youth Olympic Games to Rio de Janeiro Cheap Adidas NMD Womens , the host city of the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The five-month journey will start on April 6 and finish on Aug. 22, and he will walk through four countries in South America, namely Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil. His wife Li Xuelin, a Chinese from Zhejiang Province, will assist him during his walking. The purpose for the walk this time is to raise awareness for the UN Olympic Truce and to raise funds for Unicef Adidas NMD Womens Sale , Lord Bates said. Prior to the press conference for the walk on Thursday, the 10 Downing Street announced his resignation as a Minister of State at the Home Office. In a letter from British Prime Minister David Cameron, he wrote:""It must have been a very tough decision to decide to stand down - and a deeply personal one - but I understand completely your wish to pursue this venture and you do so with my warmest blessing."" ""Your solo-walk from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro sounds like a hugely rewarding initiative - and a fitting addition to your already impressive efforts for the London 2012 Olympic truce,"" he wrote. ""With your Walk for Peace, you are carrying the spirit of the Olympic Truce into a world that needs the values of tolerance, solidarity and peace more than ever before,"" Thomas Bach Adidas NMD Womens Shoes , president of the International Olympic Committee, wrote in a letter for Lord Bates. To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, Lord Bates spent 71 days to complete his 1,700-km walk from Beijing to Hangzhou last year. The ""Walk for the Olympic Truce"" will be his 7th walk for charities, he told Xinhua. ""It first came to me that I undertook a shorter walk to raise money for a local charity. I found just through walking amazing thing happened, which was I got attention because people covered it as it is unusual for politicians to do walking and also I raised funds for the charity, and it seems so effective Adidas NMD Womens ,"" he said. The tradition of the Olympic Truce dates back to the 8th century BC, in Ancient Greece. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) revived the ancient concept of the Olympic Truce with the view to protecting, as far as possible, the interests of the athletes and sport in general, and to encourage searching for peaceful and diplomatic solutions to the conflicts around the world. ""I think it's very frustrating for anyone in the world to see so much human suffering, misery, war and conflict. I kind of think about peace in the Middle East or anywhere else Adidas NMD XR1 Pink Women's , but I can do a walk for peace and talk about peace, and raise money for people who are helping to relieve the suffering of people,"" he told Xinhua. To solve the world's problems was too vast, but people could take individual actions to make some difference, he added. He said the most serious conflict at the moment is in Syria, while there are many unseen conflicts in African countries as well. ""Mahatma Gandhi, who said 'Be the change that you wish to see in the world' Adidas NMD XR1 Black Pink Women's , inspired me. I'm just trying to do that, trying to talk about peace, to talk about the power of sport, rather than war, to talk about people being together and rather than against each other, and to raise money for people I'm helping,"" he said. ""We cannot solve all the problems Adidas NMD XR4 Women's Pink White , but we can, each individual, do something to make the world a better place,"" he added. " HARARE, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Zimbabwe's biggest mobile phone operator Econet Wireless and MasterCard have jointly launched an international debit card that will assist in reducing cash dependence and increase financial inclusion in the country. Econet chief executive officer Douglas Mboweni said Friday that the adoption of electronic payments is critical to Zimbabwe's economic development as the economy will benefit from reduced dependency on cash and increase involvement of financial institutions. Econet said the partnership will result in more than 3 million MasterCard debit cards being issued to EcoCash's customers in the next five years. EcoCash, an Econet's mobile money service launched in 2011, boasts of 3.5 million customers. In a country with a 13 million population Adidas NMD XR1 Pink White Women's , Econet has 9 million subscribers, leaving the second and third telecom firms Telecel and state-owned NetOne far behind. "We do not expect anyone to still be using paper money in a year's time. It will be just like Europe or America, where you no longer see people carrying bundles of cash," said Mboweni. The introduction of the international debit card marks the first time of its use in mobile money services in Africa. Customers obtaining an EcoCash MasterCard debit card will be able to withdraw money from MasterCard-licensed automated-teller machines and pay for goods and services at all merchants that accept MasterCard payment cards both in and out of Zimbabwe. A MasterCard official said the debit card was an innovative payment product that will address Zimbabwe's market realities, particularly by acknowledging the impact mobile money has on the economy. "The EcoCash MasterCard debit card is a milestone towards realizing MasterCard's vision of a cashless society," said Charlton Goredema, MasterCard's vice president and area business head for southern Africa. He said the card will enable EcoCash customers to benefit from MasterCard's global payments network as well as assist Zimbabwe to integrate its economy with others in the world. The launch of the card comes just about two weeks after the country's second largest mobil.
