Did you know that 1.1 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water? What do you take for granted?

Students at Olympic Heights Elementary in Calgary, Alberta, Canada are working together with SOPAR to make a difference for those in India without safe drinking water. Children at Olympic Heights raised money through social action projects at school and at home to earn enough money to build water wells in India!

Anyone Can Make a Difference!
