UM-WESTERN CHI ALPHA SEPTEMBER 2009

4500 people die every day because they do not have access to clean water. This incredibly startling fact led Chi Alpha, partnering with the Resident Life Staff at Western, to present every singe student living in the dorms The Water Project Challenge. Floor meetings, cafeteria games, water balloon fights, water crisis awareness teachings all spoke the same message from Jesus - Letʼs give out of our abundance to those in need. After hearing the challenge students arose to the occasion drinking only tap water for one week and diverting all funds normally spent on coffee, soda, and other beverages to building a clean water well in Africa. Western students desire a better world, a world much more like the one Jesus intended...$703.20 was raised!
