It's incredible to me that August has already arrived in full swing in my house. With the weather only getting hotter here in Georgia, I feel like I need to start drinking a ton of water to keep up with my daily consumption as well as hydrate! As I start to get back in the swing of making my school supply lists for Lily, getting her backpack organized and planning out our fall schedules I never think to stop on what it's like for other parents like myself around the world. Did you know that there are children in Ethiopia who don't attend school because of the time consuming task that they need to try and fetch fresh water for their families? The horrible thing is that just because they attempt to get water, it doesn't mean that the water is actually clean or safe for them to drink! That's terrifying to think about for loved ones!
I could not imagine walking hours in the hot sun to get water for my family, not even caring if it's drinkable or not but just to quench your own thirst! Speaking of quenching your thirst, I wanted to share with Lily and her new teacher how thirst their quench not just for drinking water, but quench for knowledge this year by creating an easy gift to bring on Lily's first day of school ( Plus a FREE printable for you! ) Here's what you'll need!
