Bryant Peace Committee raising money for clean water cause

Students of the Bryant Montessori Peace committee have teamed up with Etta Projects, a local non-profit to provide clean water and fresh vegetables to the children of Las Maratos, Bolivia.

The Peace Committee is hosting an Earth Day celebration at Bryant Montessori from 4-7 p.m. April 22 in order to reach our goal of $600,000. These funds will go towards providing a water distribution system to each home and to the school of Las Maratos as well as one year of training and supplies for a school garden.

The event will feature vendors selling a variety of goods, ranging from earth friendly toys to vegetable starts. The peace committee will be selling their own Peace in Every Drop multipurpose spray and soft scrub, earth friendly cleaning products. Students from the University of Puget Sound as well as other members of the community will be organizing fun activities and games related to water and the environment.
