Friends of mine first told me about this project when they returned from doing some work with a school in Africa.

Since then, the Queen Victoria Elementary School on the east side has done an amazing job raising money to help dig a well for an African village

If you’re on Facebook you can find out more about their current challenge and join in. Or check the school’s water project web site.

On March 22nd we are challenging ourselves to limit our personal water consumption to ONLY 20 liters for the whole day, as we think about our sister school in Cheku, Tanzania while they dig 120 metres into the earth in hopes of finding water.

Our average daily water use is 330L per day.
