Volunteers team up to help provide access to safe water

Members with the North Gwinnett High School Interact Club and Buford-North Gwinnett Rotary Club recently assembled about 1,000 water pasteurization indicators that are bound for undeveloped countries.

The indicators provide people with access to safer drinking water by serving as simple thermometers that eliminate the need to boil water. They will be distributed next year through the How Far Foundation.

The club members made the indicators on Oct. 1.

Last year, their indicators were distributed in Haiti and the Republic of the Congo.
