We Walk For Water
Every day girls must walk hours to collect clean water.
We’re the generation who can change this.
Twenty awesome grade 7 students in Me to We walked for water on Thursday, May 24th, 2018 during their lunchtime. Each of them committed to collecting $25 in pledges. Twenty-five dollars gives one person water for life.

Why am I proud?
I am proud because I raised $30 and $25 gives one person clean water for life! Have you ever gotten the sense pride from doing something that helps others. My group of students in MetoWe raised $339 rounded to the nearest dollar, just in pledges! Isn’t that amazing!
Something new that I learned and understand better is…
How difficult it must be to fetch water for your family. Children (more commonly girls) have to walk for hours often with bare feet just to get water that may not even be clean. We only walked for 25 minutes, imagine walking for six hours everyday! It must be extremely difficult.
My biggest challenge was…
I would probably say my biggest challenge was try to carry the jug or bucket without putting too much stress on my shoulders and elbows. Carrying two milk jugs or one milk jug one bucket is difficult in case you didn’t know! It put a large quantity of stress and discomfort on my shoulders and elbows. I feel bad for all those people having to collect water.
I have questions about…
How much money did MetoWe as a whole across Canada raise in this fundraiser?
How will MetoWe donate the money to the civilisations in need ?
I hope you enjoyed my post!
