Salva Dut – A Long Walk to Water

Moved by the description of Sudanese children struggling – and sometimes dying — to access clean drinking water, the elementary-aged crew of public school Montessori students in P5 decided to get involved. The classroom raised more than $6000 to build wells in Sudan, in just four months. They composed hand-written donation request letters, ran lemonade stands and bake sales, and drummed up community support.

As a result, the children won WFSS’s Iron Giraffe Award – and won big. The grand prize is a June visit from international humanitarian and WFSS founder Salva Dut.

On June 8, from 5-7 p.m, greater Seattle is invited to meet Dut at an informal potluck on the Daniel Bagley Elementary School grounds (7821 Stone Way, Seattle, 98103). Salva will say a few words at 6pm, followed by a book signing.
