Connor Kenehan and Rotarians worked with Deer Path students at Deer Path Middle School in Lake Forest, Illinois on their biggest fundraiser yet.  The school's annual walkathon raised money for several charities, including $2,500 for the Lake Forest-Lake Bluff club, which plans to work with the Rotarian Action Group and Will Being to fund two well projects in Nigeria.  Only 43 percent of rural Nigerians have access to improved drinking water sources, such as pipelines and protected wells.  (The average for sub-Saharan countries is 61 percent; the United States has 99 percent coverage).

"When I went to the middle school,"  Kenehan says, "I took one of those big orange buckets, and I asked the kids, "How long do you think 5 gallons would last in the shower?  How many toilet flushes?"  That visual aid caught the students' attention. " We want kids to see they're making a difference, and why it's important," says Ken Smith, a fifth grade teacher and a student council supervisor at Deer Path.
