Monroe Community College student leaders are raising money to support Water for Sudan through the Remember a Life by Saving a Life program.
Each day, hundreds of thousands of Sudanese walk for hours through desert to collect water. The water they drink is often contaminated with parasites and bacteria and, as a result, disease runs rampant throughout greater East Africa.
Water for Sudan drills wells that provide clean drinking water for the thirsty. This effort helps to prevent disease and stabilize villages… and lives.
According to MCC alumnus Salva Dut, founder of Water for Sudan, “The challenge is enormous to those of us who uphold the sanctity of human life and the moral imperative to provide water to the thirsty. Fresh water is absolute requirement for a community's health. It is a stable developmental platform on which a community can build its future. It is, in short, life.
Support Remember a Life by Saving a Life. Send your gift to the Holocaust Genocide Studies project at MCC, Attn: Linda Ingraham, 1000 East Henrietta Road, Rochester, N.Y., 14623 or give online at www.waterforsudan.org.
Donations are also accepted at the Flynn Campus Center Information and Services Desk on MCC’s Brighton Campus.
