"As taps were inaugurated, we danced with joy and took photos with the kids. They loved the instant camera! They graced us with songs of gratitude, singing about their journey of constructing the water foundation. My world has been forever changed through this experience." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Heather Tytula of @briosalonspa on her Study Tour of Madagascar experience 💦❤️. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷@ernestrandriarimalala
"We made our way to Vero’s home, where we met her 14 month old child. At this point, Vero and her family had been living with access to clean water for two weeks through the new water point in Tsarafangitra. Previously, Vero would wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning to make her way to the nearby pond to fetch water. Now, she can spend that time walking to work and earn an income! We spent a few hours with Veronique and her kids, where she taught us how to dig cassava, pound and cook rice over the fire." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Heather Tytula of @briosalonspa, on her Study Tour of Madagascar experience 💦❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷@ernestrandriarimalala
This past October, Heather Tytula, owner of @briosalonspa, traveled to Madagascar as part of the Study Tour. Describing her experience as life changing, here are highlights of her time: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “As we drove into Tsarafangitra, the whole village was awaiting our arrival and eager to greet us. We spent the day with the people of Tsarafangitra, inaugurating taps, dancing, and celebrating clean water for all! Part of the celebration included planting maple trees, signifying the bond between Madagascar and Canada.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷@ernestrandriarimalala

Today the second-grade boys were out in the wind for the annual Walk for Water. This service program encourages the boys to experience the task of fetching clean drinking water and carrying it home. They walk three miles with gallons of water, cheered on by their pre-k buddies and the rest of the Lower School Community. . . . The second-grade is happy to report that they have surpassed their monetary goal of $4,400. As of now, they have raised $4,627 (and they still have additional coins to be added to the amount). . . #servicelearning #walkforwater #menofcharacter
#FBF to the #JSFWalkForWater this was such a great walk and the first of many. Shout out to the kids that came and the parents that are raising them right. They participated and learned what their counterparts in less fortunate places around world have to do on a daily basis to get clean water. An extra shout out to my 8 year old niece who ran the entire 5k. They are the future and if you teach them young then their potential to change the world is boundless! #flashbackfriday #walkforwater #waterislife #water #WalkForWaterHaiti #runwalk #Haiti @jollyscholastic
