World Water Day 2023 at Varese School

Primary school parents joined together with primary teachers and children to make and display a bouquet of Hummingbirds outside the school gates on world water day. This is our story:
 
‘One day in the forest, a fire broke out.
All the animals ran for their lives.
They stood at the edge of the blaze, looking at the flames in terror and sadness.
Up above their heads, a hummingbird was flying back and forth to the fire, over and over again.
The bigger animals asked the hummingbird what she was doing.
“I am flying to the lake to get water to help put out the fire.”
The animals laughed at her and said, “You can’t put out this fire!”
The hummingbird replied, “I’m doing what I can.”’
 
THE HUMMINGBIRD IS HELPING SOLVE THE PROBLEM, ONE DROP AT A TIME.
SHE IS BEING THE CHANGE SHE WANTS TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
YOU CAN BE A HUMMINGBIRD, TOO.
THE ACTIONS YOU TAKE, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, WILL HELP SOLVE THE WATER CRISIS.

The parents also joined in by creating their own hummingbirds and displaying them all for everyone to enjoy around the school gates.  Thank you to everyone!
