Marcha Solidaria supports SDG6 and Thirst Project

THIRST PROJECT STAND

On Saturday 23rd of March our school held the annual “March Solidaria” which helps raise funds for the Congo. The Mun Impact Club decided that we could also raise awareness of the SDG number 6 (clean water and sanitation) whilst raising money for the Thirst Project. So during the week before the event each one of us had a job to do, for example one had to make the advertising posters, another one the board with all the information and so on.

On the day of the Marcha Solidaria eight of us started up the Thirst Project stand, which consisted in running 75m as fast as possible carrying two bottles of 5L each, full of water. We timed all of the participants so that we could see who had been the fastest. By the end of the day lots of people had participated and we raised a good amount of money because of all of the donations!
