Clever?
Very 1st level.
And the writing is so fake.

I agree. It's like they re-wrote the brief on a chalkboard and just left out the budget bits. Show me don't tell me, as one of my CDs liked to remind us.

I really don't agree with such attempted viusal wit with a message like this.
It stands in the way of any empathy from the potential supporter.
Blackboards talk of/to young school chcildren.
It talks down to the audience.

donate for access to the water? quite weird brief. isn't coming to school they'll get to drink water there for free?

Good point. NGOs fundraise to provide wells in such towns so children - especially girls, who do the bulk of such work - can go to school instead of spending their days fetching water. If you want people to give you should maybe tell them how they'll be helping.

Unfortunately the best thing to do for these people is to civilize and educate them. Unfortunately.
