UNICEF at Northwest hosted its first annual Water Walk Saturday to raise awareness for the global water crisis.
“Through it, we were also able to raise some funds for UNICEF water and sanitation efforts.” Gerhardt said despite the cold and rainy weather, the event had a good turnout.
UNICEF Secretary Mahesh Bashyal said the Water Walk was a flashback to two years ago when he carried his own water for a year.
At the third stop, participants either had a yellow or green sticker.
Those with yellow stickers had to continue carrying the bucket of water by themselves.
Gerhardt said UNICEF at Northwest sent out an email to all campus clubs and organizations, inviting them to attend.
“I think the more people we could reach, the better it would be.” Lanman echoed Gerhardt, encouraging more people to attend next year’s Water Walk.
