West Vancouver Girl Chooses African Well Fund for Bat Mitzvah Project
Thirteen-year-old Anna Stuber will be starting grade eight at Collingwood School in West Vancouver, BC, this fall. She celebrated her bat mitzvah in January and raised money for a chosen charity as part of the experience. She chose the African Well Fund.
Anna has been selling little blue pins featuring the words for water in six different languages. She has been selling them for $3 Canadian or more each (about $2.93 US) by donation and has currently raised about $1,500 Canadian (about $1,467 US).

Edmonton Fourth Grader Raises Money for AWF
Ten-year-old Ceris Backstrom just finished fourth grade at Holyrood Elementary School in Edmonton, Alberta. She also completed a series of fundraisers for the African Well Fund that raised more than $2,400.
Ceris learned about children in Africa who don't have access to clean water at church and decided to do something. She collected change at school, made and sold a candy house (made from her own Halloween candy), asked for donations to AWF in lieu of birthday presents and presented a post-Christmas benefit concert.
