Activity 1: The Rainman of Rajasthan
Arguably, the most important resource that we have on this planet is water. Without water, we simply would not survive. Here in New Zealand, almost everyone has access to free, clean drinking water but this is not the case in other parts of the world (e.g. Rajasthan, India; sub-saharan Africa, etc.).
In fact, almost 1 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water. People like Peter Chasse have set up organisations like The Water Project to help address this issue and bring drinkable water to communities that do not currently have access to it.
In some countries like Africa and India, people had to walk back and forth collecting water for their family. The water is dirty by human and animal waste, people die every year in Africa and India because of dirty water.
