Water Mission International: Walk For Water 2022
The Walk for Water is back in person this year, and PCA students, with 11th grade class advisor Dr. Roger Weaver, heading the team, were there to add to the steps!
Walk For Water is a yearly fundraiser that supports the Christian nonprofit Water Mission that is working to solve the global water crisis which currently affects 2.2 billion people. To date, 7 million people have been served by Water Mission and more recently Water Mission has sent its Disaster Response Crew to help relieve the crisis on Ukraine’s borders.
During the Walk for Water, participants, including eleventh and fifth grade students from PCA, walked approximately 1.5 miles to the midway point with an empty bucket. There, they filled their bucket with dirty water and carried it another 1.5 miles to the end of the Walk.
“It was a beautiful day, for a great cause,” said eleventh grade advisor, Roger Weaver. “It was good to see so many people involved in helping other people.”
Overall, approximately 4,000 people took action to help end the global water crisis and together raised over $400,000!
