Some of our Green Schools Committee also travelled to Glendalough to take part in An Taisce’s Walk for Water on the 26th March. An Taisce Green-Schools, in partnership with Irish Water, celebrated UN World Water Day 2014 with a Walking for Water event at Glendalough. Beginning at 10am, 100 students from 9 schools walked approximately six kilometres, carrying six litres of water through Glendalough, to highlight the reality of water scarcity for children in developing countries, where many children must walk an average of 6 km every day to get clean water. Activities along the trail included the demonstration of a tip-tap, a simple structure made from recycled materials which allows families to wash their hands where there is no running water.
