Spread the word to help families get water filters

 Abby's SDG project has a focus on the quality of water in the U.S. Nitrates get into our drinking water and can run the risk of harming babies, in particular, when their formula uses tap water. Abby will be raising money to help struggling families afford filters for their drinking water. Help get the word out! Watch Abby's informational video, and help push out this message and offer. One can also donate money to Abby so she can help as many families as possible. Thanks!

Mental Health information in Evanstonian

 Thank you to Zachary for leading the effort for two articles in the Dec. 14 Evanstonian. One is an in-depth look at the conditions for ETHS, which are in line with national statistics for student mental health and well being, and the fact that nearly every indicator for mental health issues has been increasing the last decade for teens (depression, anxiety, suicides, etc.). It also summarizes some of the efforts being done by ETHS and views from students and staff alike. 

There is a letter from the editors outlining student thoughts about what more must be done by the school and community to help students. There is also a podcast link about this issue on this page. These are all wonderful efforts in line with SDG #3, Health and Well-being around the world!

Malawi Fundraiser

 We are trying to raise funds for our friends in Malawi. Through money donated by the ETHS community over the last four years, some schools in Malawi have been able to purchase land and start their own farms to ensure the kids are fed throughout the school year, even during the dry season and drought periods that have led to actual famines in that part of Africa. 

The new donations are for expanding the farms to help feed not only the schools and some 1500 children, but also much of the village, which has been affected by the COVID pandemic. Even small donations of $1 and $5 add up to quite a lot, since the dollar is strong relative to local currency (malawian kwacha). 

Please consider donating. Thank you!
