There are recurrent themes that I keep finding as I am researching for this blog. I'm looking for good things that are happening, either news events, charities, people. And over and over I am seeing that meeting such a primal and basic need such as providing clean water is good. Digging wells within villages gives clean water and eliminates the whole days journey. Freeing these women up to work on making an income, or children to attend school to get an education. Clean water reduces disease and infection, reducing medical costs and mortality, and perhaps in the long run reducing population growth. Clean water is good.
Living Water International is about to begin their 10 Days challenge. "Drink water to give water." This is their campaign: The 10 Days is a campaign directed at college students that challenges students to choose water as their only beverage for 10 days. That means no coffee, coke, or whatever else someone might drink. The money saved from doing this is used to provide clean water for the close to a billion people that need it. This year's campaign kicks off on Monday, October 25th and ends November 3rd.
For each dollar raised, one person will receive clean water for 20 years.
