So what now?

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

It’s August and school is starting up and I think I heard a Christmas jingle while strolling the mall shopping for back to school supplies, just kidding but I wouldn’t be surprised.  School is starting up here in the Midwest and by Labor Day we’ll all be back in a grove with school and work and life will have a normal ebb and flow to it, but what about the rest of the world?

All I know is India and from what I know about India, rural south India to be exact school is already in session which leads me to my request; water.

This past trip I received several proposals for water projects for schools.  Hundreds of kids are barely making it each and every day because they lack access to safe drinking water.  I want to do something about it but I need your help, specifically your dollars.

Without donations we can’t help, hundreds, no, thousands of girls and boys go to school each day to learn and grow and yet they do this at their own risk.  They don’t run off with a lunch and a water bottle, many of them don’t have a lunch to take and if the school does serve a meal it is very simple and plain.  Juice to drink?  Forget it.  They will be lucky to have water and if they do, the chances of it being safe to drink, free from contaminates is slim.

So yes, each and every day that I don’t or can’t act is a day they suffer and are at risk and thus the urgency to act.  Unfortunately this isn’t an isolated issue but a prevelant one and even with the widespread demand which can easily be overwhelming, I, better yet, WE, must act.

Do you want to be involved and save a life?  Send me any amount you can and together we can and will not only make a difference – we’ll save thousands of lives!
