GIN: PTO Picnic!



Today, we partnered with the organization called “Me To We.” Because GIN club has been maintaining a strong relationship with this organization since, we were able to bring them to the PTO Picnic. They came with their theme of water issues and it pit perfectly well with what we were doing in GIN. They set up and explained the water issues in Kenya and sold bracelets in order to donate the profit to people who really need them. As for GIN, we planned to do a “Water Walk,” which is an activity where people actually experience what the women have to go through everyday for water. We made pathways in school so that people can try walking with the water. This activity was unique and successful because many adult and students wanted to try. Honestly, I had never thought the water containers were THAT heavy! It was probably the heaviest thing I have carried for months that it gave me muscle aches L We also carried empty water bottles and asked for donations from parents who came to the picnic. We informed them of why we are receiving donations and where the money will go. WE MADE 20,000 KSH!
