Celebrate World Water Day with Tawanna Browne Smith
March 8th is International Women’s Day. It’s a day celebrated around the world. The day has been observed since the early 1900’s and today, it is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present, and future. It honors the work of the Suffragettes, those early pioneers for women’s rights to vote, celebrating women’s success, and reminding us of inequities still to be redressed.

Coincidentally, I had this post on my writing list and will be turning it into a broader teaching moment for my son. His science book looks at animals but I will generalize it for him, to illustrate what limited resources like clean water can do to people. Ironically, when I make this decision, a faucet in my kitchen drips quietly and consistently. Feeling guilty, I tighten the handle to stop the waste.
