Instructions
The Water Walk is designed to help people
become more aware of the degree to which you rely on
convenient access to safe water in you own life and to
raise support for programs that help people around the
world access, use, and maintain the safe water they need
to live. The Water Walk can be done in many different
ways. The important things are to encourage everyone
to be mindful of those who lack safe water and to be
thankful for their own situation.
This event can be done by an individual
or group of any size.
Step by Step:
1. Decide whom you want to be involved in the Water Walk.
You can do it on your own or enlist your roommates, class,
church, youth group, team, family, neighbors, club, or
community.
2. Decide what you want your Water Walk to look like. You
can make it silly be asking people to carry buckets of
water on their heads for a certain distance or more intense
by asking people to carry heavier loads for longer distances.
You can ask people to collected pledges before the event
or charge and entry fee. Be creative and decide what would
work best for you or your group.
3. Pick a date.
4. Get participants to sign up and start collecting pledges
or entry fees. Make Water Walk signs to help you with advertising.
