A Long Walk To Water
A Long Walk to Water involves the true story of Salva Dut. Dut is currently involved in a program of his creation called Water for Sudan, which builds wells for villages in Sudan. Each well is also accompanied by building a school. If an organization or person donates $5000 or more, a quarter of the cost of a well, they receive a partial dedication of a well. Linda Sue Park is using her book as a platform for promoting this program.
