Summer Learning Journey (Teaser week) Day 3, activity 1

DAY3: ENVIRONMENT&EXPLORATION

Activity 1: The Rainman of Rajasthan

Arguably, the most important resource that we have on this planet is water. Without water, we simply would not survive. Here in New Zealand, almost everyone has access to free, clean drinking water but this is not the case in other parts of the world (e.g. Rajasthan, India; sub-Saharan Africa, etc.).

In fact, almost 1 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water. People like Peter Chasse have set up organizations like The Water Project to help address this issue and bring drinkable water to communities that do not currently have access to it.

For this activity, please watch this short introductory video from The Water Project.

On your blog, share what you have learned about The Water Project with us. What is the goal of the organization? Where do they work? What have they achieved?

I have learned that The Water Project is a charity that is helping Africa by providing water for those in need. The goal of the organization is to help African children by providing water for them. They work all around Africa. The Water Project is currently working in Sub-Saharan Africa.
