2012 Walk for the Water

Did you know?

3.7 miles is the average distance those in the developing worlds walk EACH WAY to access clean water.

Available clean water enables children to attend school rather than spending their time gathering water.

Clean water systems help prevent illness from waterborne infections, saving many lives.

You can help my sponsoring my son as he Walks for the Water.

Please pledge your support for my son and the students of Covington Middle School by going to www.WalkForTheWater.com

This spring students at 33 area schools are partnering with non-profits A Legacy of Giving and the Gazelle Foundation to advocate for clean water in developing countries. Our collective goal is to raise $35,000 to build a clean water system for citizens of the Songa region in Burundi, Africa.

Teams from the 33 participating schools will complete a symbolic 3.7 mile walk, which represents the average distance people in the developing world walk each way to access clean water. The walk will take place on April 28th, 8:30.

Spring Break

With my goal of posting twice a week and it's already Wednesday. I thought I better start writing. It's not that I don't have a lot that I can write about. It's just finding the time to sit and write. It is spring break at my house and it's also SXSW week. So there is lots of entertaining to do but there is also a lot of entertainment this week. I spent the weekend at SXSW Screenburn. Got to see storm troopers, lots of new games and Mike Tyson.  And I plan getting some music in later this week.
