Salva Dut Featured Speaker at "A Long Walk to Water"

Salva Dut, president and founder of WFSS, was one of the featured speakers at the Aspen Institute's  7 Billion Conversations that Matter- A Long Walk to Water:  Women, Population and Access to Safe Water.

The Aspen Institute developed this program to discuss the water issues facing the world.  Water is humanity’s most essential need, and yet one third of our planet’s population lacks access to safe water, spreading disease and conflict. As climate change makes draught and disaster increasingly common, leading to melting water sources and wells pumped past the point of renewability, the water we do have is distributed and consumed in a starkly inequitable way.  Watch the entire presentation here.

This is a message directly for Mr. Salve Dut. I am writing you from a city called St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada which is about 2 hours from Rochester, NY. I am the teacher of an inspirational 5/6 class filled with students who are a multi cultural group with a lot of promise. We are currently reading about you and your inspirational life. The students are so engaged that they beg me each day to read more about you and your fantastic story! I am writing on behalf of the students in my class to see if you would make the journey to our humble little school to spread the knowledge you have obtained in your life and to inspire our students that even they can make such a huge difference in the world......like you have done. Thank of so very much for taking the time to read this.
