WHOlives Service Learning Week

On Monday through Friday starting April 15th, Quest Academy will begin a simple week-long activity that teaches COMPASSION, COLLABORATION, AND INNOVATION in a very hands-on way. This WHOlivesService Learning program also offers STEM-related principles that apply to real-life problems. You can learn more at www.WHOlives.org/learning.
 
WHOlives is a nonprofit 501c-3 organization based in Utah, with a mission to bring water, health, and opportunity to children in developing countries that are at great risk, due to scarce and contaminated water.
 
In an assembly at Quest Academy on Monday, April 15 we will discuss the world water crisis with a short 20-minute audio/visual presentation and introduce the Change for Water Challenge. The Challenge invites students to bring in coins throughout the week to help create a well in Africa.
 
Thank you for your support of this powerful week of service learning. Students are encouraged to do chores at home or for friends and neighbors to earn coins to bring to school each day. We also encourage students to find one sponsor to donate $5/month for 12 months, giving clean water to 12 children for life. With your help, our school will bring water, health, and opportunity to thousands of children in need.
