On behalf of the
International Awareness and Involvement Committee (IAIC) of Delta Sigma Theta
Sorority, Inc., Pittsburgh Alumnae Chapter, a public service organization. Our
purpose is to provide assistance and support to the underserved through established
programs in local communities throughout the world. One issue the Sorority is deeply concerned about is
the lack of access to clean drinking water in underdeveloped nations. Without
clean and safe water, millions of people will become infected and/or die.
On Saturday June 7, 2014, our chapter
will hold its 5th Annual 5k Run/Walk-for-Water, from 9am-1pm. The
goal of the walk is to raise awareness of the issue and to raise funding for
the construction of water wells so that one day, all people will have access to
clean and safe water.
