Clean Water Project for OXFAM

Class 2J have made a difference to the lives of children on the other side of the world. Together they raised over $200 to support clean water projects by OXFAM. Tuesday 31 May was $1day challenge and the students in 2J participated in a water carrying relay. Each child carried two buckets of water for 300 metres, a combined total of over 6 kilometres. Why 6 kilometres? That is the distance that many children have to walk each day to collect clean water for their family. The year 2 students have been talking about water during their science lessons and have been discussing how fortunate they are that here in Lake Munmorah, they have access to clean fresh water in their homes and at school. The money they have raised will allow OXFAM to build water pumps in villages in Africa, allowing children there to have access to clean fresh water too. Well done students of 2J!
