Every day girls must walk hours to collect clean water.
\nWe\u2019re the generation who can change this.<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1. I am proud of this because…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I just experienced the hardships that most girls in South Africa had to go through, I am proud that I did 9 laps around my school for only 25 minutes, most girls in South Africa have to walk hours just to collect water that’s not even clean! I had to carry one big bucket full of water and every step I took; the water splashed on me. The outcome that came out is sore shoulders, legs, and arms.<\/p>\n

2. Something new that I learned and understand better\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Something I can say that I understand better is that it’s very important to have clean water, we have many uses to water like cooking, bathing, and for drinking. Some girls don’t even get to go to school due to collecting water everyday, I can’t even handle walking for 25 minutes! Big appreciation to these girls!<\/p>\n

3. My biggest challenge was\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

My biggest challenge was walking, I can barely get out the door in the morning what more these girls waking up very early just to get water! My other biggest challenge was to STAY DRY.<\/p>\n

4. I still have questions and uncertainties about\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes I wonder what’s it’s really like to be in their shoes or what it’s like to have to drink unclean water?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
