We helped turn clean water on for people around the world.

Clean water is the fastest way to change a life. When communities gain access to clean water, young girls can go to school, and the health of the entire community improves. You can help create this ripple effect of change. Walk, fundraise, or donate and turn clean water on!

Awesome grade 7 students in Me to We walked for water with milk jugs or pails.  The event happened on a sunny, hot Thursday of May 23rd, 2019 during their lunchtime.  Each of them committed to collecting $25 in pledges.  Twenty-five dollars gives one person water for life.

  

  1.  I am proud of this because…
  2. Something new that I learned and understand better…
  3. My biggest challenge was…
  4. I still have questions and uncertainties about…
  5. How much money did you raise towards your goal of $25?
  6. Why are you grateful for access to clean water?  How would your life be different if you didn’t have access to clean water?
  7. How will your actions create an impact in developing communities around the world?

You must also consider the success of your product.  Remember, the amount of money you made is not what’s most important.  The main goal with this program was to have fun learning about business.

  1.  Begin by telling us your business name and slogan (do you have a pic?)
  2. How do you feel about the product you selected for your business?
  3. What are some tips that you could use to select a product to sell in the future?
