Athena's First Well in South Sudan!

Greece Athena Middle School is excited to announce that, after 2 years of fundraising, we now have a borehole well in the village of Mabior Dong, South Sudan with our name on it. Approximately one thousand people will now have access to clean water instead of having to walk hours every day to get dirty, bacteria-filled water. Girls can now go to school because they no longer have to walk for water all day long. We were first inspired by local author Linda Sue Park’s book, A Long Walk to Water, which tells the story of real-life hero, Salva Dut. Salva was forced to flee his home in 1985 as a result of the Sudanese Civil War and spent years escaping the violence, walking to refugee camps. In 1996, he was chosen to come to America and was settled in Rochester. Upon learning that his father had survived the war but was very ill from a water-borne illness, Salva was inspired to organize Water for South Sudan in an effort to help his homeland. Since 2005, over 275 wells have been drilled, and Athena Middle School is proud to now be an official part of this important work.
