Here in San Diego, the city hosted a 5k Walk for Water was inspired by journeys of up to six miles that some women and children make on foot every day to fetch water for their families. The participants carried water jugs to give them a “symbolic and educational experience” and all net proceeds will go towards the building of a water system benefitting a water-stressed village in Tanzania.
