Alexander Hamilton Academy

Our students read the book A Long Walk to Water. We want to participate as a culminating service learning project. When the students were done reading the book they realized that they had to take action and make a difference.

We are two aspiring teenagers hoping to better the world with small steps. We watched a documentary about the water crisis around the world and were shocked by the vast lack of access to clean water. Ever since we were determined to contribute to the crisis.

Bankbridge Regional High School

We are a public high school for students with special needs. We learned about the world's water crisis this year. We wanted to help students from another country gain access to clean water.

We are a IB School and want to give our children the understanding that being privileged should mean we ought to help those not so privileged.

Hoboken Charter School

Because "service learning is a way to teach, not a thing to teach" and it is my goal to build better global citizens via art... Using art as a means for grassroots activism vs. being a mere form of decoration... AND because my students have bought into the cause and feel a sense of responsibility! For us, it is all about compassion! Water IS life and everyone deserves that! Because it is our duty to care for our "Ubuntu"!

Jessie F. George Elementary School

I want people to be able to get clean water!

Lake Tract Elementary School (Dep...

Lake Tract's third grade is full of students that love to learn about folks from far away. They are inspired when they hear that other kids are in need, and will rise to the occasion for this cause. They will help support these fellow children, and, in doing so, make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others. We are excited to introduce this service project to our school and our community, and hope we can exceed our goal through a group effort.

In 1986 I went to Kenya during college for a semester. I loved it and vowed to return one day (before I had my own children). Well now my oldest son is 17 and my younger one is 13, so I didn't keep that vow. But I still have a strong interest in Kenya and know I will be back there some day.

Passaic County Technical Institute

Through the FBLA organization at PCTI, we would like to give back to the world through fundraising for this important cause.

Ramtown Elementary School

Each year, the Ramtown School, in partnership Ramtown’s PTO and Student Council participate in a school-wide initiative entitled “Make a Difference Day.” This day highlights the importance of philanthropic opportunities for our students and staff. This year, we are seeking to use our Make a Difference Day on Earth Day to generate support and funding for the H2O for Life Project. We continue to strive to create well-rounded global thinkers and citizens. This initiative will promote several important values relative to "paying it forward" and making difference for other adults and children to improve their overall quality of life.
