In the winter of 2018, when we were fourth graders, we saw one of the episodes of The Kindness Diaries that included a segment about children of the Siddharth United Social Welfare Mission (SUSWM) in Calcutta, India, who didn't have access to clean water. SUSWM received a water treatment system at the end of the episode, but we wanted to help other children who need clean water.

At the same time, we began learning about the Greco-Persian Wars as part of our study of ancient Greece. We quickly discovered that there were no books for kids our age on this exciting subject. So, we decided to write one of our own. The book is entirely created by us: we wrote the text, drew the illustrations, and laid out the two-page spreads, and published it on Amazon. We voted and decided to give all of the proceeds from this book to Charity: Water.

Using those proceeds, we have started a Charity: Water campaign. We hope you will join us and help us meet our goal!
