Quick Overview of what the Wayzata Walk for Water is...

Think to yourself how many times you have turned on a water facet and expected water to come out or how many times you have taken a sip of water from a drinking fountain and enjoyed the pleasure of the cool water provided. Then imagine that instead of being able to turn a facet or walk a couple steps to a drinking fountain, you were forced to walk 2 or more miles to get a bucket of often tainted or polluted water, and then to have to make the 2 mile journey back.

Although this seems far-fetched, there are kids all over the world who have to go through this every day, and we think that something must be done about it. From December 1st until December 23rd a group of Wayzata High School students will be making a 1.5 mile trek every school day to and from school under the less than ideal conditions of Minnesota’s winter to symbolize the walk that kids all over the world make every day for water. The hope is to raise enough money to provide an entire school with a water system so that these kids will be able to walk 2 steps instead of 2 miles for a simple glass of water. We will be working with a charity called H20 for Life to make sure that the money goes to the right place and that these kids lives are forever changed.
