Good news! There are two new photo galleries available for viewing. The first gallery shows life in Sanganguna without a steady source of fresh water. The second gallery will show how a new well will provide this water for the villagers.

The event, organized by mother-daughter team,Mariane and Rachel K, was called &quot;Walk for Water.&quot;&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's how it worked: Children asked their family and friends to sponsor them a week before the event. Then, on the 24th, students dawned their donated pedometers and played infamous elementary school games.&nbsp;</p> <p>There was one game that really stood out.&nbsp;One parent supplied 10 one- gallon jugs of water and offered to donate a dollar for each student that could carry the jug around the school. This helped &nbsp;students understand what it's like for the men and women in Sanganguna Village that must walk several kilometers a day to retrieve water. The children who participated in &quot;Walk for Water&quot; were happy to help other children halfway around the world saying that no one should have to drink dirty water.</p> <p>The students raised $1,000 that day but &quot;Walk for Water&quot; is still going on. Burning Tree students are still &nbsp;wearing their pedometers to after school sports practice! Help Rachel reach her goal of $2,750 to fully fund the construction of a well in Sanganguna Village by making a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.citizeneffect.org/projects/sanganguna">donation</a>&nbsp;today.</p> <div>&nbsp;</div><a href="http://citizeneffect.org/blog/sanganguna/walkforwater">read more</a> | <a href="http://citizeneffect.org/blog/sanganguna/walkforwater#disqus_thread" data-disqus-identifier="431">leave a comment</a> Brett W. 431 at http://citizeneffect.org
