AKL participants learn of the global water crisis and share their local water sources. AKL classes also join the expedition wiki to collaborate with all participating locations. Usually centered around the United Nations World Water Day (March 22) AKL provides a global platform to share cultures, awareness and brings us all together with the most basic human right- water.
