To the community of Whitewater,
Sixth graders at Whitewater Middle School are nearing the end of a book unit in which they read A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. Throughout this unit, students have learned about water conservation and the struggle for clean, accessible water that affects millions of people around the globe. As a culminating project, we ask for your assistance in our participation in Water for South Sudan’s “Iron Giraffe Challenge.” As participants in the Iron Giraffe Challenge, we are raising money for Water for South Sudan and their efforts to bring clean water to areas in need in South Sudan. If we meet our fundraising goal of $1000, Whitewater Middle School will be entered into a drawing to win a number of different prizes which include, but are not limited to, a school visit from Salva Dut (the main character of A Long Walk to Water) and a live video meeting with author, Linda Sue Park. In the two years that we have participated in and completed the Iron Giraffe Challenge at WMS, we have raised a total of $2,435. Please consider donating to this amazing and worthy cause. With your help, we can improve the quality of life for countless people by helping them access clean water.

For more information on the “Iron Giraffe Challenge,” please visit https://www.waterforsouthsudan.org/iron-giraffe-challenge.To donate, please visit our team page at http://secure.waterforsouthsudan.org/goto/wms. In order to qualify for the drawing, all donations must be submitted no later than April 1, 2022. If you have any questions regarding this fundraising effort, please do not hesitate to contact me.
