In an event organized by the Rotary Clubs of Martinsburg and Shepherdstown, local experts shared insights on water security with 80 students from the Eastern Panhandle, fostering dialogue around pressing global issues. The seminar featured speakers like Dr. Nathaniel Hitt from the West Virginia Rivers Coalition, who emphasized the interconnectedness of water management and environmental challenges. The aim was to inspire students to engage in local conservation efforts and understand the broader implications of their actions, according to Maria Brown, chair of the Shepherdstown Rotary Club’s International Services Committee. This initiative, which has been ongoing for over 32 years, underscores the importance of education and global citizenship among young people, as reported by The Shepherdstown Chronicle.
