About the event
Tour from 9:00 - 10:30 AM. Coffee and light breakfast provided
July 24 -- Visit to Water Mission International headquarters in North Charleston. Over the years, our club has worked closely on a number of projects with Water Mission, including four of our Global Grant projects. And our own Bill Greene, for years, has organized our club’s entry into the fund-raising Walk for Water event at Riverfront Park in North Charleston. But the last time we visited WMI was more than a decade ago. We hope to have an opportunity to actually assist in assembling one of Water Mission's water treatment systems. It is one thing to hear about what they do. It is quite another to see one of these systems and assist in its construction. The Living Water Treatment System is a miniature water-treatment plant that can provide more than 10,000 gallons of water per day which is enough to provide drinking water for 5,000 people. As WMI will note, 2 billion people around the world lack access to safe water. This is the perfect opportunity for us to learn first-hand why our club has chosen to support this organization.
