Assignment 21- Andrew Rogers

Earlier this year I participated in a Walk for Water, helping raise money for wells in Haiti. The program, Walk for Water, goes into the country and builds wells in villages who do not have clean water. Before I participated in this event I had general idea of the lack of access to clean water in third world countries, but it really came to my attention after the event. I realized that millions of people around the world had no access to clean water. If I could fix one problem, it would be the water crisis. Water is the lifeblood of human life, it facilitates agriculture and sustains life. If the water crisis was solved, at least in some part, children will have the time to return to school, adults will be able to spend more time providing financially for their families due to the dramaticly reduced illness levels, and families are able to successfully grow food year round.
