Today we visited the Daly School. We met with about 150 students. The purpose of our visit was to obtain feed back from students about the water problem facing the city of Indore in India. Maria, Zach and I went on stage and introduced ourselves and explained the purpose of our visit.
Maria asked all students to be listed from 1 to 3 and so on. Once everyone had listed, Mary asked all those who had the number 1 and 2, stand up. Once they were all standing, Maria said, look at all those who are sitting, this represents approximately 30%, well, this is the number of people in the country has access to water only one hour per day and every other day. This was a very emotional moment for me, I could not stand the shedding a tear.
After that Maria tell them that many of these children who have no access to water,must rise at dawn and walk with their mothers a couple of miles to get some water, it is impossible for them to access education as you have it.
After that, We deliver the survey and continue with a session of questions and answers. Eventually some children sent a message to share with society.
A message to the world
