We Walk for Water<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

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\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

I never walk a full lap around the school, without having to take a break. I’m not a big fan of exercising, and I dread to do it daily. I would rather sit on the couch each day, with chips on my lap, and the screen on, but I am proud of myself and my other peers for walking with 2 heavy milk jugs\/buckets, because I wanted to experience what the girls in Africa have to go through everyday-walking 8 or more hours a day for collecting DIRTY water…without going to school. I am proud to say that I’ve walked 10 laps with the outcome of having a freaking,sore back, shoulders, legs, arms, but I haven’t screamed yet, but I feel like we need to experience the toughness of it all.<\/p>\n

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

I understand what (mostly) girls go through on a daily basis, and the dark pain they have to suffer everyday, without a negative attitude and compliant. That they don’t have a chance to go to school, I’m realising that even the most important, basic things are what sadly some people don’t have. My heart goes all out to those girls!<\/p>\n

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

WALKING! You know what, I can’t even carry my backpack up the stairs. Therefore, carying 2 heavy milk jugs around the school, but somehow I mange to do…without dieing.<\/p>\n

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

I don’t have any questions right at the moment, but maybe I will have some pop into my head soon.<\/p>\n
