My Project

Funding a class set of 'A Long Walk to Water' opens doors to a transformative educational experience, immersing students in the compelling narratives of resilience, hope, and perseverance. Linda Sue Park's powerful storytelling intertwines the lives of two protagonists, navigating their journeys through adversity and triumph.

This novel not only sheds light on the harsh realities faced by millions without access to clean water but also inspires empathy and understanding among students.

Through the lens of Salva Dut's real-life journey and Nya's fictional narrative, students are transported to the heart of Sudan's water crisis, where every step becomes a testament to the human spirit's resilience.

By funding 'A Long Walk to Water,' you empower students to become global citizens, instilling in them a sense of responsibility and compassion for communities facing water scarcity worldwide. This literary masterpiece serves as a catalyst for meaningful discussions on social justice, environmental sustainability, and the power of collective action.

Moreover, 'A Long Walk to Water' transcends boundaries, fostering interdisciplinary connections across subjects like geography, history, and environmental science. As students delve into the novel's themes, they develop critical thinking skills, cultural awareness, and a deeper appreciation for the privileges they often take for granted.

Your support not only provides access to literature that educates and inspires but also cultivates a sense of empathy and advocacy among students, empowering them to enact positive change in their communities and beyond. Together, let's embark on a journey of learning, empathy, and action as we navigate the waters of global awareness and social responsibility.
