20.David Christof,a Marathon runner,visited my school yesterday.He made a speech about the safe drinking water problem in the world."I want to do more and help people everywhere have safe drinking water,"he said as he spoke to a gym full of students.
Chrisof shared with us his story of determination to help solve the world water crisis by participating in the 2007 Blue Planet Run marathon.Starting in New York City,a team of 21 male and female athletes ran around the clock through 16countries.It covered 15,200 miles and three continents,24 hours a day for 65 days to deliver the message that measures must be taken to help countries searching for safe drinking water.
As he spoke to us,Christof displayed a picture of a woman getting water from a well filled with dirty water."Would you like to drink this water?"he asked."I wouldn't either,yet this woman is washing her dishes in it and later she will use it to cook.The water crisis does not mean people are dying of thirst.It means that they are drinking water that is not good for them."
Christof pointed out that students in my school may not worry whether or not the water they are drinking is safe.But it is another story in other countries,where people actually have to decide whether their water is safe to drink.He expressed the hope that his speech would help us realize how a single person can make a difference by taking the steps to bring about change.
