Future Teachers raise funds for clean water

 Twenty-five members of the Future Teachers’ Society and their faculty advisor, Dr. Linda Karges-Bone, participated in the 10^th annual Walk for Water March.  

 Bone’s team raised $5,200 for the charity. The Walk for Water is held annually by the nonprofit group, Water Missions International, a Charleston-based charity that builds and places sustainable water filtration and sanitation systems in developing countries and areas hit by disaster.  

 The organization is known for bringing safe water and the living water of the Gospel to those in need.  Worldwide, one out of eight people lack access to clean water and 1.8 million children die each year from illnesses related to contaminated water or poor sanitation.
