Thirst Project The thirst project was founded by a group of college students who attended a presentation regarding the water crisis in third world countries.They went to Hollywood California and asked people for money to fix the water crisis.The water crisis is simply that other countries beyond America do not have clean water for everyday needs.Not only don't they need clean water to drink but to bathe and do other everyday things. Not only does it affect that but women are not able to get jobs because they spend all day walking miles to get water.
Our school was visited by a member of the thirst project.He found out about the thirst project through a friend who he met in college who was from Africa.His friend from Africa told him stories about being young and having to travel miles for clean water. He told him more about the water crisis in his country and as he listened he felt a grater need to help.Now he travels throughout the country with the thirst project speaking to schools to try and make a diffrence.
Today the thirst project speaks to middle schools and high schools throughout America about the water crisis in third world countries and what they can do to help.Each school they visit, they drop off 2, 5 gallon water jugs for the school to fill with money to help build wells for third world countries.Building a well can cost 8,000 to 15,000 dollars.The video we were presented came to us through the cast of teen wolf.What they did was donate enough money to build a fresh water well for a small country in Africa.We should all donate money to the thirst project to help save peoples lives.
