DMS Students provide CLEAN WATER for people in Haiti
WHY? Haiti had a devastating earthquake in 2010 and a hurricane in 2016, leaving widespread damage in an impoverished nation. The people living in a small area of Haiti, called Discovery Village, struggle. It will take years to recoup losses from these major events. Our class wants to brighten their world by helping to provide access to clean water. Sending one lifestraw won't change the world, but it will change a families world. Our hope is to send lifestraws in the early part of February, so families can have them and a Valentine's Day card from us! The village is large, so any help you can provide us would be fantastic!
