The young girl, Nya, collects water from a pond that is a two-hour walk from her home.
She must spend her days walking to collect water.
This organization is known as Water for South Sudan.
As we read Salva’s story, the students wanted to know more.
Rigs are needed in order to drill 300 feet down to reach drinkable water.
The passion and excitement the children displayed while presenting was invigorating.
The only stipulation was that they would provide community service and work to meet the goal of $1,000.
One of the students designed a logo with the motto the class had chosen, “Keep Walking, Make a Change.” The first service project was childcare service for parents attending a lecture at our school.
The following Monday, the students dressed for a work day in the stables cleaning stalls.
The children raised more than $3,000 in just two weeks.
