The district is sponsoring a H2OPE Water Walk on April 25 with a goal to raise $5,000 to build a well in southern Sudan.
The High School Emergency Club organized the event, which will begin at 1 p.m. with a presentation in the High School Fine Arts Theatre by Benjamin Ajak, author of "They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky" and one of the refugees called "Lost Boys of Sudan." The talk is free and open to the public.
The walk starts at 3 p.m. at the stadium. Other activities include a mini-walk for elementary-age students that will involve water activities and performances by a group from the Mt. Lebanon Percussion Ensemble and an African dance troupe.
Suggested donation to participate in the mile and a half walk is $5 for individuals and $10 for families. All proceeds go to build a well in Mr. Ajak's village in southern Sudan. The well will be built by Water For Sudan Inc., a charitable organization based in Rochester, N.Y., that operates in Sudan.
For those who can't participate in the walk but want to contribute, mail or bring a check -- made payable to Mt. Lebanon School District with Water for Sudan written on the memo line -- to Mt. Lebanon School District, Finance Office, 7 Horsman Drive, Pittsburgh 15228.
