Two North York teenagers will travel to one of the world's poorest countries next month to help erect a windmill that will enable villagers to drink clean water. The month-long visit to Tanzania, located in east Africa, is organized by North York's Steve Carey, a high school teacher who will be taking several of his students along on the trip.
Ground water is used by animals for bathing.
Safe drinking water is hard to find. There's lots of water under the ground and with lots of wind. The windmills are a cheap way of pumping the water to the surface for people to use. Carey said he hopes the trip will be an eye-opening experience for his students. I hope they'll be changed people.
