CHARITY PARTNER: Vintage Indiana is teaming up with dots in blue water, a program of high school students providing clean drinking water to the world!

Directed by a committee of school teachers and funded entirely by donations and student fundraisers, dots in blue water made its inaugural trip in 2011 to provide clean water to rural communities outlying Port au Prince, Haiti. Since then, the students have expanded their projects to become more sustainable, and have branched out to other areas. Their focus for 2014 is the EEM school in St. Louis du Nord, on Haiti’s north coast, where this year they will furnish the school with education resources, including laptops and internet connections so they may keep in touch with the students & families they serve.

The partnership between dots in blue water and Indiana Wines will allow more people to be aware of what impacts Indiana students and Indiana’s grape growers and wineries are making around the world. It will also provide dots in blue water with financial support to continue their clean water efforts in Making a World of Difference. A portion of every ticket sold will help turn Wine into Water!!
