We are a year-round swim team in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our swimmers participate in local and international fundraisers to learn the importance of giving back. Our world is better when we think about and help others through small acts of giving and volunteering. Help us make a difference by doing a small act of giving and volunteering today. Our team is off to a good start on our fundraiser for Sir Nimrod Infant & Junior School in Uganda. I have included photos of our “Walk a mile in their shoes workout”. Our swimmers walked a 1-mile round trip […]

School: Presentación Centeno Location: Lajas, Yarula, La Paz, Honduras Benefitted Population: 187 students & 6 teachers Project Review Our implementing partner, Cova, will install a water treatment system, ‘Sistema Combinado’ or Combined System in English, to purify the water in the school. This system consists of a two-step process: first, the reduction of water turbidity (cleaning the water so it looks crystal clear), and second, treating the bacteria to ensure it is safe to drink. This system will serve as a mini-water treatment plant, reducing turbidity levels and killing any bacteria in the water. Cova technicians will install this system […]

Our theme was “On the Road With Jesus”, and the map photo is where the children learned about H2O for Life and where they learned about Saints from all over the world. They placed stickers each day on the places we talked about. Each child got his/her own map to keep track and to take home at the end. The water drops are something our team created to share this fundraiser with the parish, and they were hung in the windows of the church’s gathering area. Then the VBS children made their own to remind them of our water project. […]
