Inspired by all the kids learned from Mr. Buckley at PS 154 during the year, they had a summertime lemonade stand to raise funds for this project.

PS 101 would like to help and learn about other communities. The project will expand the knowledge and awareness of our own students through lessons on the Global Water Crisis (related to environment/science), empathy, appreciation and gratitude for what they have (social emotional learning), and Respect for All -- communicating and helping others who are not as fortunate as we are. Overall this fosters a sense of responsibility, awareness, and a different perspective on life. Aside from that it will also increase student awareness of other cultures in the world (being a global citizen).

We are artists and activists devoted to changing the world, one potholder at a time. This is our THIRTEENTH year weaving potholders in support of water rights. All of our materials are donated, so every penny we make goes directly to H2O for Life. The potholders are 100% cotton, made from loops from Harrisville Designs, a mill in New Hampshire. Therefore, they are entirely made in the USA! We sell two sizes: 6x6" for $8 each and 8.5x8.5” for $12. This is Ella's thirteenth year weaving potholders and Mabel's eighth! This summer we raised $2,935.65 for water projects for families of the Navajo Nation of New Mexico. Our newest goal is to provide piped water for one home in Appalachia. Communities in parts of rural Appalachia face three key water challenges: lack of household water access, poor water quality, and lack of wastewater services. Appalachia spans 420 counties across 13 states, from southern New York to northern Alabama, and is home to approximately 25 million residents. According to the Economic Innovation Group’s Distressed Community Index, McDowell County in West Virginia has the highest level of distress of any county in the United States, with an index value of 100 on a scale of 0 (most prosperous) to 100 (most distressed). Thank you for considering a donation. Potholders make great gifts. Custom orders are always welcome! Thank you for your kindness and support.

Every day, one billion people make a three hour journey to gather water! There is a water crisis throughout the world that is creating economic, social, educational and, worst of all, life threatening conditions. We can help change that statistic for our partner school. We have the opportunity to provide a transformational service-learning opportunity for our students through H2O for Life. Our students will study issues surrounding the global water crisis, learn about their partner school and country, and will plan and implement activities that raise funds to help bring water and sanitation to our partner school. We want our students to know that by working together, we can make a difference in the world! We hope that all students in our school will benefit from our partnership with H2O for Life. Students will be challenged to think about their own habits concerning water usage, and will develop awareness of the enormity of the issues surrounding water in our world. We hope our school will be committed to make this project for our partner school a reality.
