ACTION
"Dirty Water Pledge". The 20-person team filled 400 used plastic bottles with grainy, dirty water to represent the harsh conditions that many people in Malawi face because of unclean water. Wrapped around the bottles were handmade bracelets provided by Pura Vida Bracelets, which helped sponsor the day's event. Students donated money to receive the dirty water bottle and pledged to carry around the water for a day.
High School Musical star and UN Youth Ambassador Monique Coleman visited Calabasas High School during the Dirty Water Pledge and encouraged students to continue to raise money and awareness for clean water wells in Africa.
