We will be visiting Leboldus to take part in a presentation from Craig Kielburger's Blue Water Foundation. This foundation focuses on sustainable water sources for all in need and the importance of preserving fresh water.
Here's the information on the Presentation day...
When: Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:30 to 10:35
Where: Leboldus
What: LeBoldus has been offered a presentation entitled Free the Children Blue Water Project “H2O 4U Speaking Tour”. They are visiting 100 schools across Canada to educate youth about global water issues to help inspire them to take action in their daily lives to conserve and protect water. The students will also be encouraged to fundraise to provide clean water and education programs for rural communities in China and India. Free the Children will then help provide these communities with localized clean water resources and sanitation facilities. The fundraising portion is optional.
Why: This presentation connects to our unit in Language Arts, "Global Citizenship" and the Mini Minga Charity Group here at Deshaye...
How will we get there?? We may be walking, if we can walk in 30 minutes (information will come once I talk more to Mrs. Grad)
