water.org

Tanvi Mathrubootham yet again created this lovely composition for a fund-raiser, which she very successfully auctioned online with the help of her mom.

In her mom’s words -

“In Tanvi's school, for a 30-day school project, the students had to choose a world problem as a challenge and experience the problem in their own environments. Tanvi chose water shortage as her challenge where she had to limit her water usage to one bucket and three drinking bottles per day for 30 days. The project taught her the value and importance of water. She realized how much physical and mental energy is spent on things that we take for granted. For example, she had to plan over the week to save some water every day so that she could hand wash her clothes over the weekend (using the washer would have used way more water than her quota). She couldn't drink more than a bottle of water after her strenuous 3 hour dance practices.

As a conclusion to the project, the students are expected to create awareness about the problem and help raise funds to support an org that works to eliminate the problem. Currently, 1 in 9 people don't have access to clean water and 1 out every 5 deaths of children under 5 is due to a water-related issue.

Tanvi would like to donate money to water.org by selling a painting. The theme of the painting is water cycle and how it is integral to our lives.”
