Pupils were shocked by the question I presented them the first day.

Every 20 seconds a child dies from lack of clean water.

Is it true or false?

They were even more shocked when they knew that the answer was “true”. We watched a video and they got touched by it. They quickly got into the project and wanted to know more about it.

Our first step was to know what difference does it make for a family to have or not to have clean water. They found out that not everyone has easy access to clean water. They also found out that many children can’t go to school because they have to collect water for their families.

Then they discovered why some countries have water abundance and why some countries suffer from water scarcity.  They learned about these two concepts through an experiment.

A case study was helpful for the students to be aware of the solutions that can be offered to those countries in need in order to improve their water situation. We learned about wells, rain catchments, well repairs…

They had mixed feelings about the situation that many children and adults are suffering right now in different countries around the world.

They wanted to do something about it, they wanted to change something. Therefore they decided to organise different actions to help an NGO to provide Syrian refugees in Greece with clean water and food. By now they have done one bake sale and a lemonade stand. They have planned two more sales and a second hand market to raise funds for these NGO.

They have had difficulties but they were so motivated that they overcomed them.  They have learned to appreciate many things about their lives that they never thought of before. They empathised with other human beings around the globe and decided at the end that they wanted to help the refuges from Syria in Greece.

They have put a lot of efforts and work to raise money for to cause, so far with the first sale we have raised 150€. The project has not finished yet and they are talking already about our next steps.
