BRIDGING THE GAP
7th grade students in Mrs. Molchen’s World History classes recently got to hear from Sky Adams, representing her organization Bridging the Gap! Bridging the Gap is a non-profit organization based in Chico that raises awareness about clean water scarcity and builds safe water systems in developing countries. As a civic connection to Roman aqueducts and health/sanitation conditions in cities in the Middle Ages, Mrs. Molchen’s students have been learning about clean water scarcity in the world today. Students got to see pictures of Mrs. Adams’ work around the world, practice lifting a 40 pound jerry can of water, test their ability to walk with a bucket on their head across the classroom, and imagine carrying the water-filled jerry cans and buckets for hours everyday (as many people around the world do). Many thanks to Mrs. Adams for an engaging, empowering presentation!
