This novel is about two young people, both of whom are from southern Sudan. We first meet eleven-year old Nya. It is 2008, and she spends her days fetching water for her family. Every day, Nya travels back and forth from her village to the pond, not once but twice. Next, we meet Salva, also eleven years old, but the year is 1985. War between the government and the rebels has reached his village, and in the process he loses his family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We have linked this unit to the Integrated Project theme of water and to UNSDG 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Our project has two parts. Firstly, students participated in a water challenge where they had to experience the feeling of carrying the same amount of water as Nya. In the book, Nya had to carry 18L of water for her and her family, and she walked for many hours every day. Half of the students participated, and the other half interviewed the students who participated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here is an interview with Sebasti\u00e1n Amaya Rojas and Maya Aristiz\u00e1bal Hern\u00e1ndez, who participated in the activity.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KzKrVbvlim4\" title=\"Carga de agua 1\" width=\"1111\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The second part of this project was a video diary to document how much water students used in a day at home.

Todos los d\u00edas, Nya va y viene de su aldea al estanque, no una sino dos veces. A continuaci\u00f3n, conocemos a Salva, tambi\u00e9n de once a\u00f1os, pero en 1985. La guerra entre el gobierno y los rebeldes ha llegado a su aldea, y en el proceso pierde a su familia.<\/p>\n<p>Hemos vinculado esta unidad al tema del Proyecto Integrado, el agua, y al ODM 6: Garantizar la disponibilidad y la gesti\u00f3n sostenible del agua y el saneamiento para todos.
