Instead of focusing on a Water Charity this Tuesday, we chose nonprofit organization Project WET<\/a>. This organization focuses on water education through reaching out to teachers, community members, children, and parents in the United States and around the world. Project WET achieves this goal through publishing informative water materials in different languages, creating school curriculum for different age groups, and sponsoring trainings around the world. Project WET also organizes community water events such as the Global Water Education Village. This event is held every three years at the World Water Forum, the last one was held in Istanbul, Turkey. The goal of the Global Water Education Village is to discuss local actions in water education that are successful at reaching children.<\/p>\n

Project WET is committed to reaching out to audiences around the world and in ushering water education into the twenty-first century.\u00a0 Most recently, Project WET has teamed up with the National Park Service. \u00a0In a press release issued on June 22, 2011, Project WET and the National Park Service announced that they would be collaborating on an educational series titled, \u201cDiscover the Waters of Our National Parks.\u201d\u00a0 This science based program will include hands-on activities, videos, special workshops, online courses, guides and an internet portal. Project WET President, Dennis Nelson stated, \u201cWater connects our national parks to each other and to the people of the United States through the water cycle, making national parks a perfect springboard for educating people about water.\u201d This project is going be launched at select national parks within the next year, so keep a look out at your local park!<\/p>\n

Project WET\u2019s website offers lots of links for parents, educators, corporations and museums.\u00a0 If you want to get involved, there are plenty of avenues for that, too. Of course, you can donate on their secure website in any amount you choose, but you can also choose some more innovative ways as well. For example, you can sponsor a classroom and provide a Water and Sustainability Kit which includes copies of various activity and educational booklets for every child.\u00a0 If you want to be more hands on, you can train to become a Project WET facilitator<\/a>. After completing the course, you can deliver workshops to teachers and educators in your area. A great way to get involved in your community for a worthy cause!<\/p>\n

So this week, Project WET is our pick for a great water focused organization. If you\u2019re a teacher, parent or just someone interested in making a difference through water education, be sure to check out Project WET!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
