Volume 29 - 17 September, 2013 Dear Parents and Students
God of life,
God of those who walk miles for water,
God of those whose only supply is
contaminated, bringing death, not life.
May water, clean and life‐giving,
be available to every living creature.
May that vision move forward.
May your will be done.
Chris an Aid, Great Britain
WALKING FOR WATER; WALKING FOR WOMEN; WALKING FOR JUSTICE WHY?
Every Hour
unsafe water kills 200 children.
Every Day
299 million work hours are consumed by women and girls collec ng water for their families.
Every Dollar
makes a difference. For every $1 invested in water and sanita on, the United Na ons Development Program es mates a return of up to $9, depending on the region and the technology.
Everyday Heroes this is our opportunity to walk for water, for women and for jus ce. Safe drinking water sends children (especially girls) back to school and empowers women. It improves community health and economic development.
I commend to you the efforts of the student leaders in crea ng our “women walking for water” walk‐a‐thon ini a ve. I look forward to Friday’s event.
In an cipa on I thank all families for their financial support, especially those who have also donated me, goods and encouragement. This is our invita on “To Do Good, and to Do It Well.” (Mary Ward) Please give generously. h ps://give.everydayhero.com/au/loreto‐www‐2013
