Come join us for Walking for Water’s annual walk and auction at the Laguna Beach Highschool Track on May 22nd (12pm - 3pm)! Pictured above are just some of the auction items that will be available. All proceeds will be donated to build wells in countries that aren’t blessed with access to water as easily as us. Make sure to bring friends and family! Together we can make a difference!
How far would you walk for a sip of possibly contaminated water? There are people in many third world countries, including children, who must walk miles for their water. As a club it is our goal to not just give people water, but to change the lives of communities. We must never forget how lucky we are to live how we do, and we must help others in any way we can. Any small donation can change the lives of many. Visit wisdomspring.org to learn about Walking for Water’s mission and to donate.
People in or around Laguna Beach, mark your calendars for our annual walk at the field of Laguna Beach High School on May 22, 2022! 12 PM- 3 PM! Be there!
gorgeous Tibetan tapestry donated by our local Laguna Beach Tibetan Handicraft Store ❤️ one of many silent auction items 🌟
A new well was just put in on March 3 in the Kollegal Tibetian Settlement. Tenpa our connection in India thru Phendey and who also owns Tibet Handicrafts in Laguna Beach oversees our wells says it was an auspicious well because it was done on Losar the Tibetian New Year. They had tried to get a well before but this time it worked. So happy! #phendey #wisdomspring #walking4water_ #livingyourgifts #waterislife #india
How important is WATER⁉️
1. Water makes up 75% of the brain‼️
2. Removes waste from the body & cushions vital organs‼️
3. Carries nutrients & oxygen to your cells‼️
4. Moistens oxygen for breathing‼️
So why is water important? It keeps us ALIVE! Everyone deserves clean & accessible drinking water & we are working to ensure that is a reality.💧🤍
