Get Dirty

Did you know more than one billion people don't have access to clean safe drinking water. That's one in six of us! In fact, 80% of all diseases originate from unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation. Wow! Parkview Christian Academy will be change agents for these startling statistics by launching a Dirty Water Campaign in early November.

Parkview Christian Academy has partnered with LiquidWater.com who inspire and resource like minded organizations to "get dirty" and help tackle the global water crisis. Together, Parkview Christian Academy will be raising funds to dig wells in Africa. These wells will literally transform villages overnight. Every amount large or small has a lasting impact as a gift of only $20.00 provides clean water per child for the next twenty years.

So, what's a Dirty Water Campaign? The parents and students will drink only water for three weeks. The money saved by not purchasing coffee, pop, and so on will be donated to the cause. 100% of the money raised will go straight to Africa and straight to to these wells. Through this Dirty Water Campaign, the students will learn to give back and transform the world in which they live.

And we have great news! Businesses, churches, families, friends, neighbors, and most importantly you are all welcomed to join this great cause! If you're interested in participating, please contact Jim Apker at 630-553-5158 or via email at japker@parkviewchristian.net. Don't forget that 100% of the money raised will go straight to Africa!
