people making a difference
2009
marigold students
A group of students from Marigold Elementary School under the leadership of Jan Doney participated in the Water Walk with their African Drumming for our enjoyment. When I went to their classroom to thank them, Jan Doney's 6th grade class and friends had collected loose change for clean water.

In lieu of giving wedding favors, Mike and Stacia gave a contribution to Bridging the Gap for the thirsty world.
the design team
The Design Team, Deb Sprague and Mollie, used their talents with generous giving to completely redesign the Bridging The Gap Market. With new shelves and paint, the BTG Market was recreated to reflect the global variety of the handcrafts from around the world.
kids making a difference
Children at Bidwell Presbyterian's Vacation Bible Experience (VBX) decorated three hundred water buckets for next year's Water Walk. Over $1,000 has been raised this week (June 22nd-26th) for clean water projects and awareness. The boys and girls have been competing in teams to see who can raise the most money. I was able to share with the children the great need for clean water during their week at VBX.
