Why Second Chance Points?

"Why Second Chance Points?" Because in basketball every missed shot is an opportunity for redemption. We strive to be a team that pursues every miss with a relentless determination to rebound and try again. Real life isn't that much different. It’s often what we do after we fail that matters the most. That's where life's lessons most important lessons often reside.

The AfterMATH

A look at our World Water Day efforts by the numbers...

   $247.12  Collected from students in three weeks leading up to WWD.
+ $120.00 x 2  of Mr. Sanderson's paychecks
= $487.12  Donated from our classroom at Kennedy High School
      x 2  (matching funds from the Prem Rawat Foundation)

= Grand Total of $974.24 which is enough money to help provide 8,850 people with fresh water in rural India.

But wait... there's more.  We were just one small part of The Adventure Project's World Water Day campaign.  

Combined with hundreds of other donors across the country and the Prem Rawat's matching funds, The Adventure Project raised approximately $52,000 yesterday alone.  That is enough to provide over 450,000 people with fresh water.  


Thanks to everyone who brought and bought cookies to help us make a difference!

World Water Day - Make a Difference TODAY!

Did you know?  1/3 of all wells drilled in the last 20 years in developing areas are now BROKEN.  At The Adventure Project, we want to celebrate World Water Day by raising money to help.

TODAY ONLY - Every dollar donated by midnight will be matched by The Prem Rawat Foundation... AND...  Mr. Sanderson will donate ONE DAY's PAY for every increment of $120 raised on THIS PAGE (click HERE) today. 

My students at Kennedy High School have been selling baked goods and collecting money for the past few weeks, and have already claimed one paycheck.  Today they are working on getting a second one.  Join them by clicking "GIVE NOW" on our fundraising page

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?  At The Adventure Project we are training local villagers in India to become mechanics capable of repairing and maintaining these broken wells.  Regular well maintenance can save communities thousands of dollars in costly repair, while continuing to supply families with clean, healthy drinking water.

Every $550 raised helps one mechanic receive:

* Training classes
* Tools and spare parts
* A one-year stipend to help an entrepreneur launch their business.

*** One well mechanic will care for 50 wells which will ensure clean water for 5,000 people!

Join us as we make a positive difference in our world TODAY!
