“Water is Life”

This could not be truer than in the Azawak of Niger and Mali, West Africa. Climate change has drastically shortened the rainy season, leaving half a million people with no water for up to ten months each year. Without rain, the people and animals have no water to drink or bathe with. Living on the brink of survival, the region’s 500,000 inhabitants are constantly searching for water; these daily trips can cover 35 miles and are performed often by children. They have no access to roads, schools or health centers; few development organizations work to improve their lives.

There is hope. Clean and sustainable sources of water exist deep underground, but are unreachable without expensive mechanical equipment. Amman Imman: Water is Life is drilling permanent sources of water for these resilient people, providing a chance to live without the indignity of daily thirst and fear of water-borne illness. Each well provides water for up to 25,000 people and animals, and serves as a catalyst for community development. Freely flowing water stabilizes these communities allowing them to address further needs such as schools for children and adults, reforestation and environmental protection programs, opportunities for economic development, agriculture, and food and health aid.

Wells of Love

News of the water crisis in the Azawak spread early and quickly among an international network of Montessori schools; a support system was created and the value of involving compassionate children in relief efforts was soon realized. Established in 2006, Wells of Love is the service-learning program of Amman Imman: Water is Life. Its mission is to unite and empower students as Heroes of Compassion - future leaders with a caring, philanthropic spirit - by engaging them to help bring water and hope to the 500,000 people of the Azawak of West Africa. Students in over 50 Montessori schools around the

world have participated in educational awareness activities and creative fundraisers such as A Walk for Water. The efforts of these dedicated Heroes of Compassion culminated in the construction of a borehole well, named Montessori Well of Love, in the village of Kijigari in June 2010. New schools and communities around the world are joining our Wells of Love brigade to save lives in the Azawak.

A Walk for Water A walk for children, by children

Amman Imman : Water is Life invites schools and communities around the world to participate in our Wel ls o f Love serv i ce learn ing program by conducting A Wa lk for Water .

A Walk For Water is a collaborative fundraising event for students to raise funds to build permanent sources of water in the Azawak of West Africa.

Mission and Goals During nine months of the year, the children of the Azawak make a marathon hike for water in stifling 110°F temperatures; inspired not by an athletic goal, but by a desperate need. They travel up to 30 miles in a day in an oppressive heat with little food. They know that if they don't return soon with water, one of their family members might die.

To bring awareness to the challenges these children face, and to raise money to bring them water, schools, students and community organizations are invited to conduct A Walk For Water. Student collect sponsorships for each mile they walk from friends, neighbors, family members and local businesses. All funds raised go towards building these permanent sources of water.

2009, Lake Frank, Derwood, MD

Students and families from Oneness-Family School, Barrie School and Aidan Montessori collaborate

A Walk For Water embodies the mission of our We l ls o f Love program, which is to empower students as Heroes of Compassion. These future leaders come together with

a philanthropic spirit to take positive action toward bringing water and hope to the Azawak. Each stage of planning and engagement in A Walk For Water brings meaningful

experiences, which stem from compassionate action.

Steps for Organizing A Walk For Water

1. Pick a date and register your school’s event on the Amman Imman website, www.ammanimman.org/walksignup

In several communities in the United States, A Walk For Water has been held the 3rd Saturday in May. World Water Day in March or Earth Day in April also provides occasions where an event focusing on the scarcity of water can be highlighted. We encourage your school to hold A Walk For Water at around the same time each year in order to raise a loud and consistent voice for the children of the Azawak.

2. Choose a venue The walk can take place on a wooded trail, around a track, along a city bike path, in a local park, around your local neighborhood or on school grounds.

3. Invite your community A Walk For Water can be held as a school function just for students during the school day, or organized as a weekend family event. Schools are encouraged join together with other schools to create an even bigger event that will give students an experience of being part of a larger collaborative movement.

4. Use the forms and samples in A Walk For Water Fundraising kit Download here: http://www.ammanimman.org/WOL/Resources_and_Tools_files/A Walk for Water walk_fundraising_kit.zip

The kit contains what you need to register your event and sign up your participants, raise awareness and promote your event, inform parents and encourage students, raise funds and submit your donation. Most of these documents can be tailored to meet your school’s needs.

5. Register the students Conduct a campaign in your school and announce the Walk. Provide students the opportunity to make presentations outlining the water crisis in the Azawak and Amman Imman’s work in the region, inviting students and members of the community to register for the Walk.

Opt ion: We can set up your event for online registration and donation collection. Ask us about this!

Tip : Plan ahead. Set up an organizing committee. You may need to provide portable toilets, apply for a permit, or pay a fee.

New Zealand, October, 2007

Opt ion: Invite an Amman Imman representative to make a presentation or even work with your students to raise awareness in your community.

Students register other students Tip : Prepare a timeline for all tasks. Think backward from the date of the event. Announce the event to your community approx. two months prior. Open the registration and begin collecting sponsorships approx. one to two months in advance.

6. Collect sponsorships Encourage students to tell their friends, neighbors and relatives that they are “raising funds to erect a permanent structure drilled to reach sustainable water sources – a borehole - that will meet the water needs for 25,000 people and animals who currently do not have any access to water.” 7. Design a banner with the Amman Imman logo A banner will add a celebratory note and create an expressive background for a community photo. Add your corporate sponsor logos. 8. Send out a Press Release a week before the event Tell media outlets including websites, newspapers, television stations and radio stations about your event by sending out a press release. Use our media kit to write a press release tailored to your event. 9. Publicize the event Hang posters around town; seek free advertising on bulletin boards and in local newspapers. Comment about the event on websites and blogs. Post a notice on Facebook, Twitter, your school’s website, your personal blog and other places. Invite people to participate. 10. Seek corporate sponsors Create community responsibility and raise awareness by working with local merchants to match your donation. Businesses may want to provide in-kind donations by offering their services as incentives. They may want to supply snacks and drinks,make the banner, print posters and donate other needed supplies to support the cause. Credit these businesses in your press release and put their logo on your banner. Everyone can benefit! 11. Create your own merchandise with the Amman Imman logo, like buttons or t-shirts Provide a memento for the students and highlight your corporate sponsors. (This is optional, but the kids love it!) 12. Prepare a certif icate to give to your Heroes of Compassion Celebrate your students’ accomplishments by giving them a certificate at the end of the Walk. 13. Organize your volunteers Secure people to help with making signs, marking the trail, checking in participants, collecting money, selling merchandise, handing out refreshments, chaperoning during the walk, cleaning up the trail, etc.

Tip : Learn more about the Azawak region on our website or watch a video on one of our YouTube channels: http://www.youtube.com/user/djoie or http://www.youtube.com/user/ammanimman

Tip : Set a fundraising target for your school. Think high! Find a corporate sponsor to match the funds raised by your students.

Students hand out donated refreshments

Opt ion: You can sell merchandise at the walk to raise more money.

Students receive a certificate to honor their effort

Tip : When you start to plan, form a committee to organize the event. Use our sample Volunteer Guide and Checklist provided in this guide.

14. Prepare the venue Mark the trail with clear signs, decide on where to set up the check-in table, refreshment table, etc. 15. Plan the rally Make the event more meaningful for everyone by holding a rally on the day of the walk just before it begins. Remind everyone why they are walking. Discuss how to be safe while walking. 16. Inform the participants about the details

Send out Participation Guidelines, Driving Directions, Parking Instructions, and whatever other information is needed. 17. Reconcile the collected funds Total the number of participants and reconcile the funds collected on the Participant Tally Sheet. Record the totals on the Event Response and Donation Submission form. 18. Checks should be made payable to Amman Imman Send the funds along with the Participant Tally Sheet, Registration Forms, Sponsorship Forms and Event Response and Donation Submission Form to: Amman Imman: Water is Life, 7036 Strathmore Street, Suite 111 Chevy Chase, MD 20815

Tip : Pick a route that is a little challenging and a lot of fun. A length of 3 miles or 5 kilometers is ideal. Students can ask their sponsors for a minimum of $5 per mile or kilometer.

A rally is held to bring everyone together

Tip : Plan the event for a Saturday and invite the whole family! Everyone will benefit and enjoy serving together.

Make it a fun and meaningful experiences for the entire family!

Everyone should wear sturdy shoes.

Our Heroes of Compassion Stories and Photos, 2006-2009

Expressions of Compassion Oneness-Family School, Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA

For three years, Ryan has part ic ipa ted in A Walk fo r Water. Cu lt iva t ing values o f serv ice i s very important in h is fami ly . Every year w ith h is parent ’s support , Ryan approaches h is f r i ends and neighbors to sponsor h is three-mi le wa lk. A lthough he feels a l i t t le shy about asking , he has gotten better at exp la in ing the water cr is is and how h is schoo l’s invo lvement in the Amman Imman p ro ject has changed l ives in the Azawak. The response f rom h is ne ighbors when they g ive a donat ion every year bu i lds h is conf idence.

Seven-year-o ld Rose makes d iscern ing cho ices on how to spend her al lowance money. She w i l l o f ten choose not to buy a toy or gadget say ing , “I don’ t real ly need that .” Yet , when i t came t ime for A Walk for Water, Rose ins isted on contr ibut ing $100 o f her own sav ings to Amman Imman .

F ive-year-o ld tw ins K ieran and Cal lum a ttended A Walk fo r Water fo r the 2nd year. Their mom, Chr i st ine, a teacher at Oneness-Fami ly Schoo l, took her t ime walk ing the trai l w ith the boys, their f r iend Josh, and 11-year-o ld husky dog Co lby . For the boys (and for their mom keep ing them on the tra i l ! ) , i t was a great ach ievement to complete these three mi les. Chr is t ine and her fam i ly , inc lud ing 19-year-o ld Sophie, midd le schoo ler Seb i, and the tw ins, have made A Walk fo r Water and rais ing funds for the ch i ld ren o f the Azawak a spec ia l event fo r their fam i ly . Even the f ive year o lds ask the ir neighbors fo r money to help the “Aaazawaak.”

Collaboration and Contribution

Hershey Montessori School, Huntsburg, Ohio, USA

Paula Le igh-Doy le, head o f schoo l at Hershey Montessor i in Huntsburg , Ohio descr ibes her schoo l’s response to A Walk For Water:

Our ado lescent students in i t i ated the idea o f a who le-schoo l sponsored walk. They walked ten mi les, whi le our Upper E lementary students walked six mi les and the Ear ly E lemen tary walked three mi les. Some ear ly elementary ch i ld ren took turns haul ing a large container o f dr inking water, which was as much symbo l ic as i t was necessary to hydrate at the end o f their walk. The pr imary students wa lked the per imeter o f the schoo l and co l lected co ins in a large water bott le in our foyer whi le a sma l le r group spontaneously began a secondary co l lec t ion in their c lassroom. The Young Chi ld Communi t y (14 through 30 months o f age) undertook a long walk across our eleven acres to the pond where they celebrated w ith a dr ink o f f resh water upon successfu l ly arr iv ing there! The who le schoo l community rai sed a to tal o f $6,351.

I was personal ly amazed by the success o f the funds raised by the ch i ld ren and staf f and their determ inat ion to accompl ish a mission through the successfu l coord inat ion o f 240 students, parent vo lunteers and staf f . Hav ing two separated campuses serv ing separate ages, has mot ivated us to work more intent ional ly toward develop ing a “who le schoo l Hershey Montessor i commun ity”. Coming together to work toward a common goal, in serv ice to o thers, was a wonderfu l way to exper ience the power of ind iv iduals when they can co l laborate in a un ited sp ir i t as a “who le” community .

The Heart of Compassion The Boyd School, Chantilly, Virginia, USA

The response f rom the students at the Boyd Schoo l to the Amman Imman p ro ject exempl i f ies how the pro ject reaches the heart o f compassion in students, deepening their apprec iat ion for what they do have whi le broadening thei r perspect iv e about what o thers do not have. Dav id Gulajan, 8th year s tudent , eloquent ly connects what we do and why we do i t , “You may work a mi le, and you can have l i f e, o r walk a mi le and g ive l i f e. Thanks, Dav id , fo r summing i t up !

What the kids learned:

Salmonberry School, Orcas Island, Washington State, USA

“I learned how when you have something hard to do it is easier if friends do it with you,” Emma Freedman, 7 “I learned that kids in Niger have to walk a long way for water and that they must have very strong legs and feet,” Stormy Hildreth, 6 “I learned I sleep well after I exercise,” Maddi Dudley, 6 “I learned that when you do something even if it is a hard thing to do, you feel really good and proud in the end,” Ethan White, 7 “I learned it feels good to help people,” Benjamin Pollard, 7 “I learned that the world isn’t always fair for everyone,” Henry Miller, 6

“I learned how our class supports each other [with] whatever each person is able to do”

Compassion, Understanding and Action

Lawrence Intermediate School, Lawrencevil le, New Jersey, USA

Lawrencev i l le Inte rmed iate Schoo l teacher L isa Char les has th is to say : “As soon as our students heard about the s ituat ion in the Azawak, and that o ther students were he lp ing , they wanted to help , too . I t is natura l fo r them to want to make the wor ld a better p lace. For them, prepar ing for th is walk has been a lesson in g lobal c i t izenship .” Ms. Char les hopes that A Walk fo r Water w i l l insp i re ch i ld ren to know that they are needed and have an ab i l i ty to make some changes in the l ives o f ch i ld ren and fami l i es on a g lobal scale.

Connection and Understanding

Tawa Montessori Pre-School, Wellington, New Zealand

Anja Gee lan, d irector o f Tawa Montessor i Pre-schoo l in Wel l ing ton, New Zealand , read about the Amman Imman p ro ject in the Internat iona l Montessor i Counc i l 's on l ine news let ter . She brought i t to a meet ing as the schoo ls were organiz ing the centenary parade. When she presented the idea to the ch i ld ren they wanted to help :

I am amazed how our 3 and 4 year o lds haven taken to i t , how concerned they are. And they feel very spec ia l about the idea they can he lp and make a posit iv e contr ibut ion. I t ’ s hav ing a b ig impact .

Af ter the parade, An ja sent th i s report : I t was awesome! A beaut i fu l sunny day. For me, and many o thers, i t was a powerfu l exper ience. Walk ing behind Af r ican drummers, ho ld ing th is banner “Wa lk fo r Water”, walk ing w ith hundreds o f ch i ld ren downtown, what an exper ience! Money for Azawak at our preschoo l is st i l l coming in , way beyond expectat ions. One ch i ld raised as much as I had quiet ly hoped to raise in to ta l at our preschoo l! The who le pro ject has been fantast ic , and for us, as preschoo l, i t won’ t stop there. The ch i ld ren are so in to i t . Today, our new rainwater t ank was empty , fo r the f irst t ime. No water coming out of the tap . We talked about how the ch i ld ren in Azawak exper ience th is day af ter day.

Sample Budget For A Walk For Water

You can make A Walk for Water as simple or elaborate as you want! This budget provides a framework for planning the costs of your event based on 150-member participation. We suggest charging a registration fee of around $12, which should amply cover all the expenses. We encourage you to seek corporate sponsors to pay for things like a banner with the Amman Imman logo, printing and refreshments. Local businesses want to support the efforts of youth in their community, and you should feel proud to tell them about your students’ efforts! Let the students approach owners of the shops they frequent, and ask them to support their philanthropic work to support their fundraising efforts. Contact Amman Imman for suggestions on getting corporate sponsorships. Please plan on taking photos and videos at the walk, and share them with Amman Imman!
