In preparation for our next Crowdsourcing Kids launch on World Water Day, we prepared 100 boxes of elephants. Two dozen hardworking, generous ladies, made this event a success!

Our wonderful volunteers at the Elephant Packing Party

Everyone gathered at Happy + Hale in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. Happy + Hale is healthy restaurant known for their bright decor and nutritious food. The restaurant generously offered their space for assembling elephant boxes and even served refreshments to the volunteers! The first 15 volunteers received gift bags full of goodies from Methodical Coffee, Swamp Rabbit Cafe, Baking Sweet Scents, Organic Tan Face & Body and HIS Radio.

Thank you to our generous business partners who donated for the goodie bags!

Our volunteers worked quickly and cheerfully to tag, assemble and pack 100 boxes of elephants. Women formerly enslaved in rock quarries in India made the elephants. The women learned to sew through a vocational program. They earn money making the adorable elephants. In less than two hours the boxes were sealed and ready for World Water Day.

Elephant Packing Party volunteers worked quickly to prepare boxes.

On World Water Day, March 22, the public is invited to buy boxes of elephants for $25 each. Sign up for the waiting list to be notified when boxes are available. The boxes contain 12 elephants and when children sell the elephants they will raise $130 for Water of Life. When their efforts are combined with 49 other children they will raise enough to completely fund a well-drilling project in India. After launching on World Water Day 2018, Crowdsourcing Kids has drilled four wells in India, bringing clean water to thousands of people.

Thank you to all of our volunteers for making this event a success and for being a part of this world-changing project!
