This podcast is a visit with the organizer of Bryan High School's "Walk For Water" event, Alena Vitha, and WTAW's Bill Oliver.

For 15 years, Bryan High School students have held a spring event at Merrill Green Stadium to draw attention to water scarcity around the world and in particular in Central America.

The "Walk For Water" event returns Saturday after it was cancelled last year due to the pandemic.

BHS senior Alena Vitha says everyone is invited to participate in the fundraising walk, benefiting St. Joseph Catholic Church's annual mission trip to Guatemala to build water cisterns.

There is a $1 admission for individuals and $5 per group.

Participants will walk a mile on the stadium track to simulate the trek millions of people around the world walk daily to access water.

The event also feature booths to inform those attending about water scarcity.

Masks are required and will be available during Saturday's event from 10 a.m. until noon.
