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

  1.  I am proud of this because<\/strong>\u2026 I was able make an effort to understand the struggle of young females having to walk miles just to get water. The fact that I was able to replicate it, even if it was on a smaller scale. Definitely makes me proud that I tried to get an understanding and experience something new.<\/li>\n
  2. Something new that I learned and understand better<\/strong>\u2026 One thing that I learned is the struggle is real. And when we were walking it wasn’t easy. I thought I going to be able to breeze though laps, but I couldn’t. I had to take my time and catch my breathe, and the fact that people do this everyday, for longer is astonishing and admirable.<\/li>\n
  3. My biggest challenge was<\/strong>\u2026 I believe that the hardest hurdle was keeping myself motivated, remembering what am I doing can make a difference, and acting on that motivation to push myself further, and further. Finishing those laps really meant something to me.<\/li>\n
  4.  I still have questions and uncertainties about<\/strong>… How they set up. How do they get ready to make this journey everyday. What is their mindset? How do they have the motivation to do that everyday that’s my greatest question?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
