Bradford Students See Results of Their Efforts

Recently, Bradford received an update on their efforts. Local volunteers in Indonesia worked hard to install a water tank at a school, a high capacity rainwater catchment system fitted with a filtration system designed to remove impurities, which results in clean, safe drinking water.

“This project is situated at the Talise Elementary School located in the region of Tambun, in North Sulawesi,” said an email to Bradford from The Project Solution. “Thanks to you and your generous support, over 200 people now have access to clean water including students, teachers, and the local community.” 

In conjunction with the fundraiser, students learned about the water cycle and water scarcity issues around the world. The event itself had all of the second graders walking a small outdoor loop in Mountainside Park while carrying one gallon jugs of water to give the students some small sense of the challenges that other children face around the world in transporting water.
