An estimated 780 million people around the world without access to safe drinking water. The hardest hit countries are Ghana and Tanzania. 

If you are one of many Victor students from 5th beads for Tanzania, you rock! Team “Victor Pirates” is credited with 3000 paper beads for the Students Rebuild “Water Challenge” which will provide 150 people with safe drinking water for a year. Combined with other teams nationwide, 16,000 people will benefit through community water projects.

More good news; the artist, Vik Muniz, will be creating a sculpture using all the paper beads created for the Water Challenge. Some of you know about Vik Muniz from the art documentary, "Wasteland". It is about the world's largest landfill located in Brazil, and the people who worked there to recycle waste materials. They collaborated with the artist and now, you will, too! Check out this trailer for “Wasteland”:
