Additional awareness of the Day will be created with the involvement of more than 1,500 students of the sixteen high schools participating in an essay competition regarding Government\u2019s role in the WASH program to promote water and peace. The stakeholders of WASH, including the Government of Liberia, WaterAid Liberia, PSI-CWSA, and other stakeholders, will also conduct an interactive session with students of Gray D. Allison High School on the school\u2019s campus on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, to support the \u201cWater Action Month\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n<p>There will also be cash prizes and trophies for champions in football and kickball. However, runners-up will receive only cash prizes. In addition, a cash prize will be presented to the winner of the Best Essay competition while his\/her participating high school will receive a trophy.<\/p>\n<p>The games (2nd Edition) are being organized by National High School Sports, an organization that promotes sports and education as an inseparable component to support youth development.
