A World Issue - Drinking Water

Posted: February 9, 2011

Representatives of the international aid organization Free the Children made a presentation recently to students attending Blackville School. The focus of the presentation was drinking water and the issues around the conservation of drinking water and the environmental impact of bottled water. Following the presentation a workshop was held to develop a plan of action for Blackville School and identify a village in India the school can support in its efforts to improve its quality of water. Helping students understand their roles as global citizens is considered an important element in twenty-first century learning. For more information on this event visit Say No to Bottled Water .
