Almost 720 million women and children will not have ready access to clean water today. It is stunning that these women and children who, in communities who lack immediate access to clean water resources, spend upwards of 3 hours a day seeking what ever water can be secured be it clean or dirty. Kibwezi District was one such community, despite sitting on top of a freshwater acquifer fed from the glacial waters of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Irene Kabot, peace educator and physical education instructor at William B. Ward Elementary school in New York State, joins us for an interesting discussion about her work to raise awareness about water wells and her effort to raise money through her project, "Wells of Love and Hope" http://www.wellsofloveandhope.org/ . Utini Primary School in Kibwezi District Kenya and Ward Elementary School in New Rochelle NY have been paired in a peace project Ms. Kabot initiated to help each understand more about the other. Ms. Kabot talks to ZWCR about the technical challenges of building wells, sustainable and ethical issues in assistance projects and the joy she has found in working to support this international service project.

Bullying has long been considered an unfortunate rite of passage left to children to resolve amongst themselves- until evidence was found that linked bullying to far more grave consequences in student violence. Parents, teachers and community groups all can help by raising awareness and helping children identify strategies to diffuse the situation by employing humor, alerting adults, and establishing strong friendship bonds with their age-mates. Girl Scouts of USA Troop 2981 completed workshops on bullying and, together with Zonta Club of New Rochelle produced their own PSA (public service announcement) which was broadcast world-wide on May 6th on ZWCR.
