Looking back at our CAS project, I am proud of our accomplishment. We prepared for this long journey and so many people thought it was a crazy idea, but it was so much fun and a really unique learning opportunity. We were able to get through this walk by venturing through beautiful and safe neighborhoods, accompanied by music from our phone, and a backpack. We still had more resources than the children we wanted to represent. They have a much more difficult time getting to their destination and they do so on a daily basis, while we only did so for a day and with way more entertainment options to get us through. It was a very cool experience and it makes me more grateful for the resources I have access to. We have asked a few adults to donate a few dollars for every mile we walked to donate to a charity, Water Mission, which will help provide the resources for children in other countries. This CAS project enabled us to learn in a really exciting and creative way!
