Tamale Water Project aims to provide clean drinking water

Fourth grade teacher Brina Stephens and the KCD Lower School are leading a schoolwide effort to raise $10,000 (including a generous $5000 matching gift by Michael and Carla Culotta) to install a rainwater catchment system at one of our sister schools in Tamale. The Dahin Sheli Primary/Junior High School currently has only one tap to serve 1200 students, and students (many of whom walk several miles to school) must carry their day's supply of water from home each day.

The Lower School will be holding a "Walk for Water" on May 14 to demonstrate our community's commitment to helping with clean water issues in Tamale. Check this Friday's newsletter for additional information.
