Water

We have been continuing our learning about the 5 pillars Free the Children uses to help and empower villages around the world.  We first looked at the pillar of water and sanitation.  The students learned about people not having running water to use, or not having clean water.  We learned about illnesses that can be caused by unclean water.  Then we learned that this is not just a problem for third world countries.  This is a problem here in Canada, and even here in Manitoba.  The students remember how awkward it was this past winter when we had a boil water advisory for a couple of days, they couldn't imagine having to live like that all the time.  

This time learning about water has been eye opening for the class.  Next we are moving on to alternate income.
