Walk for Water in Florida
In many parts of the developing world, people have to walk for miles every day just to get the water they need to drink and cook. To highlight that daily challenge, activists in Hialeah, Florida, plan to hold a Walk for Water walk-a-thon.
The walk is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 22 (which is World Water Day), at McDonald Park, 7505 W. 12th Ave. The event is part of Hialeah Water Fest 2008, which is being organized by Common Ground for Conservation and the city of Hialeah. Admission to the park is free, but there’s a registration fee for anyone participating in the walk-a-thon.
