My daughter, Kate, who is a senior in high school, is heading up a Walk for Water. Here is a little information about it:
You are invited to be a part of it on Saturday, May 11. The purpose of this walk is to raise money and awareness for the people of Kenya who have to walk miles daily to reach clean water. The money raised from this walk will be donated to 410 bridge, a non profit organization that builds wells in Kenya. You can check out their website at 410bridge.com for more information.
To give you a little more info, I interviewed Kate about this Walk.
Me: How did you get involved with Walk for Water?
Kate: My friend, Amanda Woodson, was in charge of the Walk for four years. She did a great job and I really liked helping her out. I enjoyed their mission, bringing water to those who don't have it, and I thought they were doing a great thing that was different than other projects. It was unique. Amanda asked me to take it over because she went to college this year.
Me: What first drew you to be involved at first?
Kate: I just really love missions, so any time I hear about a mission project, I just jump on board.
Me: Why do the walkers have to carry a gallon jug?
Kate: The gallon jug represents the jugs that Africans have to carry and they have to walk hours daily to get their water, some more than the 3 miles that we will walk, so we thought why not walk a few miles in their shoes and get water from the river just like they have to.
Me: What does the money raised go to?
Kate: 410 Bridge, check them out at 410bridge.com. They build wells in Africa. And they also tell people about the Living Water.
Me: You are very busy right now, and about to graduate. Why did you want to head this up?
Kate: I love mission projects, and like to be busy.
Me: Why do you like missions so much?
Kate: I just love spreading the Good News. That is God's one call for us.
If you would like to participate, just let me know and Kate or I can get you a registration form. You can register up until the day that it starts!
