Highland High School's Second Water Walk to Benefit Children in Africa
The walk simulates the plight of African children who walk 4 miles with 40-pound buckets of water. Proceeds go toward a well for Swaziland.
Gloucester Township, NJ -- Highland Regional High School is hosting its second annual Water Walk at the football field on Wednesday, April 27, 5 p.m.
The school is challenging Gloucester Township residents to walk a mile in the shoes of African children who live in Swaziland, Africa. They have to travel about four miles a day, carrying a 40-pound container of water to the nearest water source, which is likely contaminated.
During the Water-Walk, walkers will carry two- gallon water jugs around the track.
