Young Actors Bring Portraits to Life; US Water Activist to Walk Across Africa | Special English | Learning English

Young Actors Bring Portraits to Life; US Water Activist to Walk Across Africa | Special English | Learning English: Amy Russell founded the nonprofit organization Walk4Water three years ago while she was still in college.

AMY RUSSELL: “If I ever wanted to tackle any of these big social causes of our day, [I realized] that I’d have to start at the root of everything. And the root of everything looks like it was poverty. Then, when I studied poverty a little more, I realized that clean water is just at the base and the root of all that. You can’t really have the rest of the development process of sanitation, education, all those types of things without having the basic necessity of clean water.”
