Wholehearted Academy Clean Water Fundraiser

Supporting Water First NGO

Our Wholehearted Academy learners have been exploring Truth and Reconciliation — and learning that part of reconciliation means taking action and making amends.

After discovering that many Indigenous communities in Canada still live without access to clean drinking water, the kids decided to create a fundraiser to help.

They’re raising funds for Water First, an organization that brings clean water and training programs to Indigenous communities across the country.

Every dollar raised will go directly to Water First to help provide lasting solutions for clean water access.

💧 Our Goal: $600
💛 Organized by: The children of Wholehearted Academy (with a little help from Teacher Leah!)

NIBI'S WATER SONG

Nibi is the Anishinaabemowin word for water. In Nibi's Water Song , an Indigenous girl on the search for clean water to drink. Though she is faced with repeated obstacles, Nibi's joyful and determined energy becomes a catalyst for change and action as her community, and then in widening circles the country and government, rally around her to make clean drinking water available for all. In a story perfectly levelled for young readers, there is a strong underlying message that even when a problem seems too large to face, every bit that everyone does helps. And inaction in the face of a wrong is not an option.

Sunshine Tenasco, an Anishinabeg activist for clean water, has an amazing optimistic spirit that shines through her writing. The hopeful tone and lyrical read-aloud quality of this gentle allegorical tale open the door to conversations and action aimed at young children, whether they are on a reserve that does not have clean water or they are living with access to clean water. Chief Lady Bird's stunning, original artwork carries through the themes of strength, hope, and resilience in an incredible collaboration of talent.
