Inspired by Linda Sue Park’s book Nya’s Long Walk: A Step at a Time, six-year-old Pippa spent weeks at the end of her family’s driveway to raise money for Water for South Sudan.

We are so inspired by all the people who support Water for South Sudan. We’re especially inspired when young people take action. Take Emma, who started at the tender age of 8!

For this feature, we interviewed Christa Talbott, an educator at Lusher Charter School in New Orleans, Louisiana.
