My Project

Providing water bottles for students in school can promote hydration; improve concentration and cognitive function; enhance overall health; reduce the risk of dehydration; and encourage sustainable habits by reducing the use of single-use plastic bottles.

Providing water bottles for multilingual students in school can help ensure they stay hydrated throughout the day, which is crucial for optimal cognitive function, language learning, and overall well-being.

It can also promote inclusivity and a sense of care for their diverse needs, fostering a supportive and welcoming environment for all students.

Providing water bottles for students can support their social-emotional well-being by ensuring they stay hydrated, which can positively impact mood regulation, reduce stress levels, and enhance overall mental well-being. Additionally, the act of providing for their basic needs can create a sense of care and support, fostering a positive and nurturing environment that contributes to their emotional health and sense of belonging. Above all, I want to be a good role model by demonstrating and supporting proper hydration habits for my students.
