Make A Wish Water Well Completed
Alyssa was granted a wish from Make A Wish. She could travel anywhere. Do anything. Meet anyone famous. Her choice. She decided to have a well built for a village in Africa. This was inspired by the Matthew West song “Do Something” and the book “A Long Walk To Water” by Linda Sue Park.
Make A Wish generously fulfilled this wish! Now, the village of Murehwa, Zimbabwe has fresh, clean, water flowing from a new well. Thank you, Make A Wish for making Alyssa’s wish come true!
