The Savanna Oaks Student Council recently held a Water Walk--a fund raiser for the Organization H2O for Life. Students learned about the water crisis in Sudan by reading "A Long Walk to Water" by Linda Sue Park and then partnered with the African Republic school, South Sudan School #5 to help. The goal of $300 was surpassed and more than $500.00 has been collected to complete their well water project. Water Walk participants carried 1-2 gallons of water on their long walk to raise awareness of the fact that children may spend many hours a day walking to a clean water source, sometimes leaving no time left to attend school.
