Wow! ...Holly - I was SO impressed with your video! Wow! The photos look amazing - the color of the water was like a jewel! I have enjoyed reading your posts about the trip and now can really see some of your descriptions come to life. I have been using A Long Walk to Water as part of a grade 7 Literature circle theme based on children in poverty and slavery. It is always the book that brings up such rich discussion and the ending evokes the most gasps! I love your project and can't wait to read more about it. As always, an inspiring post! Thank you!

We posted a Nerdy Book Club post and tried to rally as many people as possible to have their own walks and fundraisers. He's in Uganda helping to build a well this summer!
