This project was initially presented to us through the Twin Cities Catholic School Center of Excellence (CSCOE). When we heard about this opportunity to help support and serve others in need, we were moved to get involved. As a Catholic STEM school, there are many connections to be made in our curriculum and in our faith. We are motivated to make a difference and are thankful for your organization.

Tally's toilets

Last summer, my grand-daughter Tally, her family and I visited Ilawani Nursery school in Kenya. We observed a brilliant local woman, Joyce Mutuku, teaching her young (3-5 year old) students the alphabet, sight words, simple math skills and traditional songs and dances. The school room had a blackboard and a few wall decorations, crowded desks and was host to a group of happy, smiling children. Their outside playground had a few basic pieces of playground equipment, and the students jumped rope, played with a few soccer balls and gleefully enjoyed playing with each other and Tally, Tanner and Travis. We noticed that 2 students at a time were leaving the playground and disappearing for 5-10 minutes. We asked joyce where the students were going. They were walking to a church several blocks (I say blocks loosely) as they walked down a dusty road) to access the one available latrine. 3 year old kids- walking alone- vulnerable-to use a toilet. Can you help us make sure that Illawani School has access to toilets. Any donation, large or small, will help us reach our goal! Please make an online donation today! Thanks. We will raise the funds necessary to build accessible latrines that are within the school compound. It will contain a stall for girls, a stall for boys and a stall for teachers. Will you help? Please consider a donation- or better yet- build you own campaign and join me to reach out to family and friends to change the lives of these young students.

Team Agua

Team Agua is a student-led H2O for Life Water Club in Woodbury, MN. We are sisters and co-founders of the club! We're doing this because we feel it is wrong for people to not have bathrooms or be able to wash their hands with clean water! "If people get sick, they might spread it to others." (Ana) "Helping others helps us all be safe." (Jayna) "Everyone should be able to wash their hands at school!" (Finn- the girls' best friend) THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO AND HOW YOU CAN HELP: We learned about a school in need. It's called El Cascajal and it's in Nicaragua. They want to build 3 bathrooms because they don't have bathrooms. The whole project will cost $975. Starting November 1 we will walk one mile every day for every donation we get until we raise our money! Make a donation, any amount*, and we will walk to say thank you and raise awareness for how many kids actually have to walk miles for water every day! (*We made a video and suggested $30 because $30/day x 30 days gets us really close to our goal. We also learned that one mile of pennies is 84,480 pennies or $844.80 so we'd take spare change, too.) Thanks for helping us bring clean water and bathrooms to El Cascajal! Kids can make a difference!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u0bxDElbkk
