Review for Amman Imman Water is Life, Inc., Silver Spring, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My elementary-aged children are inspired and deeply connected to children in Niger who lack water. This life-lesson in compassion and action for my children is the result of their school's work with Arianne Kirtely and Amman Imman. Through inventive fundraisers and lessons brought to their classroom at Oneness-Family School in Chevy Chase MD, my children admire Arianne as they do Justin Beiber! Their participation in "Walk for Water," a fundraiser that enables children to walk in the footsteps of their peers in Niger who walk for miles to find drinking water, and the annual "Amman-a-thon," where students perform athletic challenges like bouncing a basketball, jumping rope, hoola hooping and for each dribble, jump and shake of their hips, earn sponsorship money to build wells in Niger, the students learn that they can have an impact on the world and be part of the change that can bring peace and basic human rights to children across the globe. As a parent, I could not ask for anything more. Hats off to Amman Imman for their hard work and commitment to help the people of Niger and for creating such an inventive and meaningful way help solve the world's problems through the engagement of children.
