We have an opportunity to partner with an organization called 20 Liters and help make dirty drinking water clean for the most vulnerable in sub-Saharan African.  Today two local students came to our classroom to talk about their first hand experience of dirty water in Africa. Click here to see the video.

Our classroom has been challenged to raise money for a Walk for Water event that is coming up on October 7.  

Students are being encouraged to not ask parents for money, rather to think of ways that they can give of their time and effort to make some money.  Could they return pop cans?  Could they have a bake sale or lemonade stand?

The community is also invited to be a part of this event.  Walk for Water:  Hudsonville will be on October 7 from 3:00 – 7:00pm at Gemmen’s Home and Hardware.  There will be food and an opportunity to see how the worst of drinking water can be made for good through a filtration system that will be put in African communities.
