The National Honor Society Comets Chapter is a small college preparatory school in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Through the community service program of their NHS Comets Chapter, students strive to significantly impact their school community and increase global awareness.

The students aimed to raise awareness within their school community. As a result, the community service extended well beyond NJHS and NHS members; it saw robust participation from high school students who were not members and who are keen to participate again. As they learned about H2O For Life’s mission, participants became intent on raising further awareness and initiating more service projects to improve water access in the US and Latin America. As islanders who endured a major hurricane with no water service for over two months, they understand the critical need for access to clean water. The students have pledged to enhance the outreach efforts of the H2O for Life Nonprofit for the coming year.

Here are a selection of quotes from the students:

“We were able to raise $1,120.00! We had a paint activity, in which students and teachers spent time learning about H2O For Life organization and our sponsored project. We spent the afternoon, painting and learning.”

“I didn’t know of this organization before, but now I want to continue to help!”

“It was a beautiful experience!”

“We need to repeat this, next year” “It’s incredible how, 2021rst century still does not have equal access to water.”

“Thank you, for this. I learned so much”
