Walk for Water
St. Richard participated in the Walk for Water to raise awareness
of the inequality of water for people around the world. While we are
blessed in Canada to be able to access safe water to meet our daily needs,
people in many parts of the world have to walk 6kms or more to find water that
may not be clean or safe. St. Richard staff and students walked 2.5kms
around our neighbourhood carrying bottles and pails of water. We placed posters
along the route for our community to learn more about the purpose of our
walk.
We are committed to
using water wisely, to recognize that it is a precious resource given to us by
God, and to understand that it is our social responsibility to ensure that
water is an equal right for all.".
