Forsyth Fifth Graders
ForsythSchool (St. Louis, MO) Grade 5 students wrapped up their interdisciplinary unit on water with a service-learning project to support the installation of new girls’ latrine and handwashing facilities at Ttama C/U Primary School in Uganda through @h2oforlife.
In advance of their fundraiser, the students learned about clean water access and usage at home and around the world in Sustainability classes with Mrs. Susan Zareh, Innovation & Design classes with Mrs. Melissa Leuthardt, and even Language Arts classes with Mr. Ryan Howard. #UniquelyForsyth
In Innovation & Design, the students learned how to decrease water’s turbidity to create flocculation, similar to what water treatment facilities do, before engineering their own water filtration systems! They also learned about the P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program and demonstrated how the P&G Purifier of Water packet transforms 10 liters of contaminated water into safe drinking water in just 30 minutes!
A campus-wide collection, organized and facilitated by Mrs. Susan Zareh and the students on Friday, April 18, raised $1,500 to support the selected H2O for Life project in Uganda. Thank you to everyone who donated, and congratulations to our Grade 5 students!

Saviefe Deme Community School
Saviefe Deme is a rural community located in the Volta region of Ghana and has a population of approximately 3,100 people. The major economic activity in the community is subsistent farming, trading, and hunting. The people are very friendly and accommodating. Saviefe Deme Community School was established in 1964 by the Government of Ghana in partnership with the community. The school has not received any major development from the government since its establishment, so the community members always come together to support the school through communal labor with the support of other organizations. Being the only school in the area, the school currently has 150 students ranging from kindergarten to grade 9.
