PART C: Dreams Turned Into Reality The author describes their experience during a drought in their small village of Foro, which was the longest they had ever experienced. They noticed the earth cracking and the sun prickling their skin, and their neighbors seemed worn out. They decided to make the journey to the Toiro River, which they had dreaded every day since their mom encouraged them to do so. As they approached the river, they heard the sound of water rushing and were determined to gather as much water as possible to help their family. However, they realized that the Toiro River had dwindled to a trickle, and the waters were murky and stagnant. The author's heart sank at the thought of the consequences for their own neighbors. Ayana, a butterfly, appeared on the riverbank as a sign of hope and change. WaterAid, a global organization known for providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene solutions, promised to work closely with the community to develop a sustainable solution to their water crisis. They worked in partnership with local organizations and governments to implement sustainable projects that improve access to safe water sources and sanitation facilities. WaterAid began working in the village, helping the community become more acquainted and training members to maintain the newly fixed water pump. The pump, once disrepair, became more useful and a viable source of water for the author and their neighbors. With a mixture of trepidation and wonder, the water pump finally poured out, making gathering water no longer a hassle.
