Fairmont Preparatory Academy Student Jacob Zhang on the Water Crisis
Hello! My name is Jacob Zhang. I am a senior at Fairmont Preparatory Academy. Having lived in California for 3 years, I have come to realize that it's suffering from a severe water crisis. I embarked on a journey in June 2022 to find viable solutions that anyone can take to tackle this crisis. I am thrilled that I was able to present my findings to the United Nations Westchester Chapter, and I hope that I raised awareness in the general public so that we can work together to make water cleaner and more accessible in not just California, but around the world.

Quote from a student awardee's parent:
"I read your email last night and tell the good news to my daughter Mia, we jump she dance it was a great way to end the day!
Working on this contest was a great help for Mia she was upset and sad about the way she will start Middle school but this opportunity makes her think about acceptance, about the positive and have hopes, and now she starts going 5 days to school here in New Rochelle and goes to soccer after school, so the hopes she wrote about come true...
...Thank you so so much for doing this for the kids in times like these.”
