Lent 2021 St. Andrew-St Dunstan Joint Outreach, on behalf of PWRDF.
PWRDF - Lent II
Our Outreach program during Lent is directed to raising funds to help train local Indigenous people to be water systems operators in their communities. But we are also trying to raise awareness about the current state of drinking water within these communities.
There are a number of water-related illnesses which occur in disproportionate numbers in Indigenous communities as compared to non-Indigenous communities, according to local public health. Such things as some cancers, stomach infections, skin conditions, birth defects, even death, all probably connected to long-term lack of clean water. Over-chlorination, contamination with hydrocarbons, industrial waste runoff, & bacterial contamination are but a few of the reasons the water can be unsafe to drink.
Each Drinking Water Advisory represents a community of people who need to drink, cook, bathe & clean using that water. Boil Water Advisories require residents to bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before being able to use it for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, washing produce or bathing infants & toddlers.
No level of government is currently tracking or recording data consistently relating to water-borne health outcomes in Indigenous communities, therefore nothing is being done by government to correct this state of affairs.
Do we, too, turn a blind eye to the problems of God’s children living under these conditions? Or do we join with PWRDF and Water First in trying to bring about “a truly just, healthy & peaceful world”?
Donations can be mailed, dropped off or e-Transferred to the Church. Thank you.
