Upcoming Event – WE Walk for Water

On Friday afternoon, April 27th, students from MDJH will be participating in International WE Walk for Water Day – a symbolic walk for our global initiative as a WE school. We will walk around Kenny’s Pond while carrying books in our backpacks to simulate how women and children have to walk for access to clean water everyday. We are asking for a $2 donation to support clean water initiatives and education in Ecuador. Our goal is $1000 and with your help we aspire to reach it. Thank you for your support!
