Students were required to carry between 2 and 6 litres of water for a distance of 6 kilometers. This is the average distance many women and children in Africa must travel twice every day to access clean water. Several teachers and parents also joined in the walk.<\/p>\n

With a few pledges still coming in, the group has already raised $1,600.00<\/p>\n
