A Long Walk
More than half of primary schools in developing countries lack access to clean water, and every minute, a child dies from a water-related illness. Providing clean water to impoverished communities prevents these tragedies, and frees children from the crippling burden of carrying water. It is is the first step to making their dreams come true, which is no small thing. Dreams are important; dreams are what change things. ‘A Long Walk’ is a story of how one small girl used dreams, perseverance, and opportunity to make miracles come true in her homeland of Nicaragua.
