DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – Students at Dallas’ Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy have sent thousands of bottles of water to Flint, Michigan as that city continues to deal with a water crisis.
Alicia Serrato is a teacher at the Academy and says they came up with the idea in March.
“We started contacting community members, different churches and different schools,” said Serrato. “We collected water here physically at our school and collected money.”
She says students who donated both water and fundraising were able to have dress down days on Fridays as an incentive to participate.
In total, 20 pallets containing 60 cases each were delivered to Flint.
