Walk for water

As many of you know clean water is something near and dear to my heart.  The organization that I like to fundraise though is 20 Liters and every year they host a Walk For Water event.  This allows people to see what we are doing and it allows us to try and live a small part of what it would be like for many of those who have to walk for their water.  They had a lot of fun activities for the kiddos to do, like help put together an actual filter or try and push a bike that has a couple of Jerry Jugs on it and see how difficult it is up the hill.  We then walk a mile and a half carrying a jerry jug (they're about 44 lbs) or Lucy and I got suited up with a sack of potatoes that simulated what a lot of mothers go through having to carry their babies and the water.  I think it was really helpful for the kids to see that a lot of people in the world struggle with basic needs like clean water... and that they should be thankful for the simple things that they have.  They all did a very good job and completed the entire walk!  I was so proud of them!




































































We will most likely be doing this again next year :)  thank you 20Liters for all that you do and are doing already.
