Walk to Water Blog

On Wednesday the sixth and seventh grade met at Rocky Nook park to fill up water jugs to carry to school.  We did this because the seventh grade is reading a book called the long walk to water.  It is about the need of water in Sudan.  Our goal was to get an idea of what its like to have to get water and carry it for a distance.  We only walked about a mile and it was up to us on how much water we carried.  I carried about 4.5 gallons in a backpacking backpack and it was heavy! I had it easy because I had the backpack but for some I could tell it was really a struggle.  I think everyone in SB should just put in money to send the people there either backpacks or wheelbarrows or something because something so small can save lives.  I think we should have carried the water every morning for a week because that one morning was more fun than anything and I dont think that was really the point of the assignment.
