Lane Wood from the organization Charity:Water speaks to students gathered at the University of Maryland, College Park on Oct. 22. He came to raise support for ‘Quench,’ a student group on campus determined to raise $5,000 for a new water system at an African school.
Sophomores Alex Wahlberg and Kate Luxner listen raptly to Wood from their seats in the audience. The presentation focused on the horrendous water conditions in Third World Africa and what Charity:Water is doing to help.
After the presentation, members of the audience were invited to donate money from laptops placed near the exit. Quench has raised more than $500 since the beginning of the semester.
