The Wonderful World Of Water

"World Water Week", presented by Delta Sigma Theta, UNICEF at Illinois State and the H20 relief group. These great groups held a whole week's full of fun activity's around the campus of ISU and made a definite impact on how people think of water usage and the places that need it the most. I attended two of their great events, The water walk on March 24th and the water pong tournament on March 25th, they were both great events. The water walk was a very fun event, we all gathered at Ropp building and as a large group we walked about  two miles to a creek and filled up jugs of water and walked back to the water tower. It showed me that some people have to do this everyday and don't have plastic jugs to use, they use cracked bowls or baskets. It really opened my eyes to how easily we can access our  water and how others aren't so lucky. The other event I attended was Water Pong Tournament which was a blast, you chose a partner and played other teams to get further and further into the tournament. Unfortunately due to my partner lacking a certain finesse for the game, we were knocked out relatively early. The goal of this project was to raise enough money to build a well in a town in Africa, the estimated amount was thirty-five hundred dollars. With that money they would have clean and easily accessible water for the next twenty to twenty five years, in short, it would change their lives. This was a great gathering of mostly ISU students and faculty members and even some members of the community. All in all it was a fun event that if you couldn't make you missed out, but that doesn't mean you cant still help, you can still donate and help change a whole towns standard of living forever, isn't that worth a few dollars or a few hours of your time?
