Valleyview students take 5 km walk for good cause

Students from St. Stephen’s School in Valleyview took a walk for a good cause.

Teacher Kathryn Gauthier says more than a dozen Christian Leadership students walked 5 kilometres, the distance many people in Africa walk every day for clean water.

“Just (be)cause that is the average distance for a one-way trip to walk to get water,” she said. “And some (students) chose to wear heavy backpacks to symbolize the water that they were carrying on the walk.”

They raised $859.
