Children in Action – Walk for Water
Every day women and children must walk hours to collect clean water, often from unsafe sources. This affects their health, livelihood and education. We’re the generation that’s out to change this. Because when communities have access to clean water, girls can attend school, parents can run sustainable farms and families can break the cycle of poverty. We are helping to raise money to provide clean water in communities that need it.

Did you know... $25 gives one person water for life?

On Friday, April 27th students will be walking in support of this cause. Classes are competing to raise the most money and to earn a pizza party for their class. 

Donations: Cash donations can be sent to the homeroom teacher, if you wish to donate online and receive a tax receipt check out our donation website (visit - https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/we-walk-for-water-bayview-hill-es) Please note, if you donate online make sure to write in the Comment section whose class the money is going to or print off a copy of the donation email with your student so we are able to keep track easier for the competition!
