They had just finished reading A Long Walk to Water and Thirst, learning about how kids their age in South Sudan had to walk miles every single day just to get clean water. For a bunch of middle schoolers in Merrimack, New Hampshire, it hit hard. They didn’t just want to take a quiz on the books and move on—they wanted to actually do something. The brainstorming session was pretty chaotic, but that’s just how they rolled. They decided to […]
