When I first heard about this trip, I said sign me up. I had no clue when or where, all I knew was that we would be hiking a 14,000+ foot mountain. Backpacking in Colorado holds a special place is my heart. Being a high school math teacher and Young Life Leader, I get to spend a week in the mountains doing life and learning about Jesus. It gives us a time to get away and focus on trusting the Lord in ways we don’t, but should, throughout the year.

The “dirtiest” water I drink all year is the water from the fresh snow melted streams that week. Things were put into perspective for me when I started reading about the purpose driving the Clean Water Climb. I am excited to be partnering with Child Legacy International this summer as I join to climb Mount of the Holy Cross. The purpose of this climb is to raise awareness and funds for clean water in Malawi, Africa. My hope is to share the love of Christ, not only on the mountain, but as well by bringing hope to those in need by partnering in this cause.

 “We have seen it first hand, visiting primary schools and hearing teachers report student death or poor attendance due to bad water.” We can put an end to this by providing clean water. All of your donations will go towards building new or repairing established wells in Malawi. Thank you for joining in this cause to bring clean water to those in Malawi. The teachers are eagerly awaiting for their kids to fill up their classrooms.
