Wartburg College students will experience what it's like to walk in another person's shoes on World Water Day, March 22. Students will walk to the river, fill 5-gallon jerry cans with water, and carry them back to campus. These students want to gain a better sense of what so many communities in east Africa are still experiencing on a daily basis. They hope their efforts on World Water Day will help raise more awareness and more funds for water, to end this legacy of burden. Your contributions will be crucial in helping the students create lasting change for communities still waiting for safe water. Building wells changes lives!
Donations can be made through Thrivent. If you choose to donate through Thrivent, Water to Thrive would love to know about it, so be sure and send us an email at team@watertothrive.org. |
