Most elementary students don’t have to think about where they’ll get water to drink; it’s down the hall and comes out of the fountain. They almost certainly wouldn’t consider where students in other countries get their drinking water. But when the fourth-grade students in Megan Chambers’ class at Lyman Hall Elementary School heard about the lack of clean drinking water for students in Africa, they immediately wanted to help.
