GREENVILLE, Mich. (WOOD) — Students at Baldwin Heights Elementary School are giving back to a country on the other side of the world.
After reading a book in class about the lack of clean water in South Sudan, they decided to take the issue into their own hands.
“I didn’t realize that we should be this grateful for what we have in our water,” said Addison Aittame, a 4th grader at Baldwin Heights Elementary School.
The students have raised $8,000 in the past five years and nearly $1,600 in this school year alone. They said it’s important to stand up for what’s right.
