Dallas, TX--Having learned about the world’s water crisis, carrying a toll of 25,000 deaths daily from water-related illnesses, school children from Connecticut, California, Iowa, New York, and Pennsylvania decided to put their education into action. The schools have been selling private labeled bottled water, that the students developed, to raise funds together to purchase technologies that bring safe water to water-stressed areas of the world. Every teacher and every student worked very hard. Their stories are as unique as they are moving.

Watch NBC Nightly News "Making a Difference" story about what these kids have accomplished.
