St. Anthony Middle School

STARS Alternative High School

We are a small high school located in cozy Central New York. As part of the global community, we feel the burning desire to help those Earthlings who are in need. This year we're focusing on bringing awareness to (and easing) water issues around the world.

Stateside Elementary

We would like to help those in need. We find it important to pay it forward to make our world a better place for all.

St. Barnabas School WELLness Project

Our school has been fundraising each year to bring clean water to countries in need. We started by raising money for Lifestraw Water filters in 2005. Subsequent years brought the opportunity to raise funds to build solar wells in southern Nigeria for the Ozioma Hope for Wellness Corp (non-profit) and Missionary Teresa Thomas. The Nordonia Hills Rotary Club assisted as well. During the 2020-21 school year, students discovered H20 for Life Schools when trying to get PURR water filters for Ms. Thomas. Students spearheaded a candy sale fundraiser and raised over $2,200. This project has become an annual tradition with over $7600 having been raised since 2017, and students will once again drive a school-wide candy sale to raise funds to support a project of their choice.

St. Christopher School

Each year, we encourage our students to become involved in a charitable service project to foster activism within the global community. Our first year, we decided to direct our efforts towards a charity that directly benefits children, so we signed on to help raise funds for Ecole Mixte Action Fraternelle in Haiti. Our students rose to the challenge and exceeded their fundraising goal. As our continued hope, is to foster a sense of responsibility and fellowship with others in their age group who do not have access to the same basic necessities of daily life, we have decided to take on an entire project on our own this year. Two years ago, we decided to sponsor a well in South Sudan. We encouraged community outreach, by sending student groups to local business and fellowship groups to explain our cause and solicit financial support. There were additional fundraising and educational opportunities throughout the year. Again, our students surpassed the goal. last year we again sponsored a school in Haiti, while also supporting parish relief efforts in Puerto Rico, and greatly surpassed our goal. This year, we will focus our efforts for maintenance to a well and water supply in the Dominican Republic. This will help keep the water clean and flowing at a school with a large Haitian population. Our 6th, 7th and 8th graders will participate in a walk in June to “put themselves in the shoes” of those for whom water is not easily accessible. We will also be including the primary grades, by having them complete an abbreviated walk.

St. Clare Walker Middle School

As part of a county where many of our residents live or work on the water, we know the importance of clean water. This project will not only help our students learn about and educate others on the importance of clean water, but will also allow our students, teachers, and members of the community to collaborate while raising money for a great cause.

St. Colette Church

Stephen F. Austin State University

We are college students, who are working to become elementary school teachers. In our class, we are learning the best ways to teach social studies to elementary students. We have learned that service learning is a great way to get students involved and engaged in social studies. Our class decided that the best way to learn about service learning is to jump in and get involved. We hope to inform other students on campus, as well as people in the community, about the water problems around the world. Our goal is to raise awareness, and help make a difference in the lives of primary students on the other side of the globe.

Steve and Carrie: Team Siegel

Steve and I are excited to join our friend, Patty Hall and her H2O for Life team, in Uganda next month. We have been supporters of H2O for Life for over 10 years. H2O for Life provides the support needed to build latrines and provide water so children can be healthy and continue their education. In the US, these service-learning opportunities are designed to engage youth to become global leaders. We are supporting the school projects in Uganda you can see below. Please consider a donation today.

St Gregory the Great Church Middl...

We are a parish Religious Formation group (NOT a school). In our parish we try to instill in our young people the need to reach out and help others through the Corporal Works of Mercy. Many of our students come from upper middle class families and do not want for much. They need to realize how others live on a daily basis.
