Many people around the world suffer from dehydration and/or waterborne diseases. This is due to the lack of safe, healthy drinking water. We (a group of eighth graders from Lost Mountain Middle School) knew that we couldn't let this go on without attempting to make a change. That is when we thought of the idea to increase vending machine and cafeteria drinks and snacks up by 75 cents. We also decided to hold monthly fundraisers selling snacks and treats made by the group of students themselves. Along with that, people may choose to donate money and can earn a prize depending on how much they donate. The profit made is collected over time and eventually will be used to build wells in Africa. So, please spread the word to help us save lives.
