The National Junior Honor Society donated $200 to the nonprofit Water for South Sudan through a Valentine’s Day fundraiser organized by the club. Water for South Sudan drills wells, delivers hygiene education and provides sanitation services to locals in need.
Water for South Sudan was founded by Salva Dut, the main character in A Long Walk to Water: a novel that tells the real story of the lives of Salva and his father as they try to bring clean water to the area. A Long Walk to Water is read by seventh graders in C.J. Hooker Middle School.
Goshen’s staff received a thank you from Water for South Sudan, reading the following:
“We are so grateful to educators like you who inspire and motivate students to support clean water projects in South Sudan!”
