It all started back in fourth grade when our teacher assigned us a project. The project was to raise awareness for a global issue and find a solution. Then, we had to create a website about this issue. I was assigned to lack of water, and my first goal was to figure out where exactly this is happening.

It did not take too long for me to figure out that the problem is mainly centered around sub-Saharan Africa. I researched a few charities and sites. I ended up choosing The Water Project because the organization was very transparent and was obviously helping the people that needed it.

The next step was to create a website that showed the details of the problem and provide a way to stop or help the issue. As a fourth grader, I paid a great deal of attention to how the website looked and whether or not the color matched the theme. Thankfully, this did not hinder my progress and my teacher complimented how nice my website looked. I had slapped everything on one page, the information up top and the link for The Water Project at the bottom.

This project also opened up my eyes to the rest of the world and I was very eager to help out after school. So a few weeks later, I set up a garage sale and sold enough to help give two people water. I was very proud of myself that day, and now, years later, I want to continue helping out those people. And this is why I set up page, in hopes that this will help, even a tiny bit in combatting the water problem in Africa.
