| It's a heavy job carrying water to school |
On Sunday Jane will be swimming a mile across Lake Ullswater for Money
for Madagascar because children are in dire need of access to clean water.
This time last year Jane’s QES folk band plucked their strings to raise
money for a new classroom for children who risked drowning to get to school.
This time Jane is plucking up her courage and donning her wet suit to help
children who don’t have enough water.
Jane says
“I'm wanting to make a 'splash' through my swimming and help
fundraise for a well to be installed in a rural primary school in the highlands
of Madagascar. This would improve the children's health in two ways. Firstly
access to clean water is a vital step to reduce the tragic levels of sickness
and diarrhea, which can be fatal. Secondly the water supply will be used to
irrigate a small kitchen garden so the students can combat malnutrition by
growing and eating fruit and vegetables.”
