Sixth grader teaches third graders about water and HydrAid

Brandon D., a 6th grader in Tulsa, Oklahoma recently learned about the problem of safe drinking water around the world when his mom did a fundraiser at the Longhorn Restaurant in Tulsa that she manages. The problem of safe drinking water is a global crisis and Brandon gave a group of 3rd graders today a lesson on safe water and explained to the 3rd grade class how HydrAid is making a difference around the world.

Jim Bodenner attended Brandon's class by Skype but he added little to the discussion since Brandon had a complete lesson plan to present to the 3rd graders.

Congratulations Brandon on a great job and thank you for helping educate US students regarding this crisis!!
