Getting the knowledge out there and inspiring people to take #ActionForWater in whatever ways they can is the most rewarding part, knowing there is some impact is really special - @thewaterbros tells @WDatSchool students what motivates them to do this work 💙💦 @LSF_LST

A student asked @thewaterbros how they overcome the feeling that no one will want to listen to them. Their advice: take satisfaction in giving people the knowledge they need to take action 💪🏼 @WDatSchool
