We are the Chicas for Change, a group of sophomores from Redmond High School who are working together to help change our community and the world, one step at a time.

We are sponsoring a water walk to raise awareness about the importance of access to clean water in developing countries. In the United States, we are fortunate to have access to water in our homes, but more than one in nine people in the world don’t have access to clean water, that is more than 780 million people! Collecting water for their families as a daily chore is one of the primary reasons girls in developing countries do not get an education. We want to change that, so to raise awareness we are asking individuals, teams and community groups to participate in our water walk from 4-7 p.m. on May 30. The walk will also be featured on the national news this summer.

We encourage teams, groups and individuals to participate by walking around the Redmond High School track with water containers on their head. Prizes will be given for the largest team participation, most laps walked individually and as a team. And don’t forget, the news crews will be there filming all the action.

Please join us to help drive awareness for this important global issue.
