Walk for Water - Friday, May 18th - Periods 4 and 5
|
|
Did you know that 4,100 children die each day in Africa alone from water related illnesses and that 377 people die every hour from diseases linked to poor sanitation, poor hygiene and contaminated water? Thousands of children, mainly girls, go without an education to walk countless miles every day and fetch the water their family needs for drinking, cooking, washing and hygienic purposes.
Walk for Water is an event where 'Free the Children' club members, along with the Eco Club and Student Council members, will carry containers of water as we walk over a kilometre to experience what life is like for these children. Our secondary goal is to raise the remaining $1 400 needed to start the construction of our well in Haiti. We are well on our way to the $5 000 goal with approximately $3 600 raised to date.
On Friday, May 18th, during periods 4 & 5, we are asking the staff and students of Centennial to wear blue (to represent water), to donate a minimum of $2.00 and walk with us in solidarity as we raise awareness and funds for this important project.
Thank you, in advance, for your generous support.
