Cambridge Rindge and Latin
Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School students in the Honors African American Literature course are raising funds for the Abutia Norvisi Community School in Ghana. Please consider donating to their campaign! "Abutia Norvisi Community School was established in 1964 by the Government of Ghana in partnership with the community. The school has not received any major development from the government since its establishment, so the community members always come together to support the school through communal labor. Being the only school in the area, the school population currently stands at 353, from kindergarten to grade 6. The school’s borehole well has been broken for years, so the students would have to fetch water from the nearby community water source. Recently, the community borehole well broke and now the students have to walk 3 km, each way, to another community to fetch water for drinking and sanitation. Now that the dry season is setting in, the situation will become worse as the pupils will have to wait in line for long periods to get their turn at the well. Time wasted fetching water multiple times per day has a negative impact on teaching and learning. "

Mason-Rice Elementary School 1st ...
Ms. McGrath's first grade class has been learning a lot about Human Rights, specifically focusing on the rights of children across the world. One's right to access clean, potable water particularly affected our class. We read and listened to many stories about children, especially girls, who are unable to receive an education because they must journey to collect water for their family's survival each day. In order to get a mere glimpse into this extremely different way of life, our class went on a small journey for water. We walked to a nearby lake to individually collect cups of water, on a bitter cold day in New England. Everyone tried their best to walk back to school, without spilling a drop of water, keeping in mind that this supply is needed for health and survival. When we returned to our warm classroom, we measured the amount of water that made it back and compared it to an "Average Daily Water Usage" graph. We had not returned with enough water for even one person to survive upon for one day, let alone 23 kids. Our six and seven year old children felt strongly that they wanted a way to help make a difference in the live's of other children, who deserve the right to drink and use safe water, just like them. H2O for Life seems like a great avenue to make this hope for change, a real possibility.
North Middlesex Regional High School
We are a service learning group from North Middlesex Regional High School in North Central Massachusetts that strives to help others from all different communities as well as our own. We develop and work collaboratively on service opportunities to do around our area year-round. In May, we make a trip down to New York, NY to work with organizations and people in the city as much as we can with different projects such as soup kitchens, park cleanups, meal distribuions, and building restoration. We worked with you last year and are excited by the idea of being able to help people from a community that is drastically different from our own. We are also happy to be able to do something that would make such a positive change in peoples lives. It is one of the greatest opportunities we have found to be able to help others.
