SERVICE SPOTLIGHT HANNAH PORTER MEMBER, TICONDEROGA HIGH SCHOOL THIRST PROJECT IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT WORKS WITH YOUNG PEOPLE TO PUT AN END TO THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS BY BUILDING FRESHWATER WELLS IN DEVELOPING COMMUNITIES THAT NEED SAFE, CLEAN DRINKING WATER. WATERBORNE DISEASES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE EASILY PREVENTABLE YOUNG DEATHS A YEAR THAN HIV, MALARIA, AND ALL WORLD VIOLENCE COMBINED. SMALL CHILDREN TYPICALLY DO NOT HAVE STRONG ENOUGH IMMUNE SYSTEMS TO FIGHT DISEASES LIKE CHOLERA, DYSENTERY, OR SCHISTOSOMIASIS.BY ACHIEVING UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION & HYGIENE, WE COULD REDUCE THE GLOBAL DISEASE BURDEN BY 10%. CLEAN WATER ALSO PLAYS AN INCREDIBLY CRITICAL ROLE IN EFFECTIVELY TREATING AND MANAGING HIV/AIDS IN RURAL COMMUNITIES. WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE ALSO ABLE TO GET JOBS OR GO TO SCHOOL WHEN THEY DO NOT HAVE TO WALK MILES EVERY SINGLE DAY TO COLLECT CLEAN WATER. IN JUST TEN YEARS, THIRST PROJECT HAS RAISED OVER $10 MILLION AND FUNDED PROJECTS TO PROVIDE OVER 400,000 PEOPLE WITH SAFE, CLEAN WATER! WHICH IS WHY I BELIEVE THIRST PROJECT IS SUCH A GREAT ORGANIZATION, AND I AM THRILLED IT IS THIS YEAR’S GOVERNOR’S PROJECT. WHEN I SAW THE FUNDRAISING PAGE THAT WAS SET UP FOR DIVISION 14 I WAS SO EXCITED! I SHARED THE LINK WITH MY FAMILY MEMBERS. ALTHOUGH THE FUNDRAISER HAS NOT REACHED OUR GOAL, I AM HOPING OUR DIVISION CAN GET SOME MORE DONATIONS BEFORE THE END OF SEPTEMBER. SO FAR WE HAVE RAISED $138, WHICH MAY NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH, BUT WILL PROVIDE 5 PEOPLE WITH CLEAN WATER FOR LIFE!
