Life Straw
Sunday school students are raising funds to purchase Lifestraw Personal water purifiers, which are designed to be worn around the neck and used in any water source. The filtering devices provide easy access to safe drinking water away from home and are effective for approximately one year. Through their service project, the Sunday school children have set their goal of $1250 or 250 Lifestraws to do their small but important part to help achieve the U.N. goal of reducing by half the number of people without safe drinking water by the year 2015. Please help the Sunday school children realize their goal with a prayerful donation. For more information contact Joan at 4575180 or lfumced@twcny.rr.com.
