We never think about it. It's always within reach and nothing ever goes wrong with it. You're sick? Drink water. You're thirsty from a long run? Drink water. We take water for granted.
Water is such an essential part of our lives. We need it to thrive and live, yet a billion people in the world don't even have access to it. Women have to travel over 20 miles just to get access to drinking water, but who says it's safe? It could be thriving of water-bourne illnesses like salmonella, e-coli, cholera, hepatitis A, and many others. So tell me again, why isn't safe drinking water a human right?
A simple donation can make all the difference. Charity: water is an organization that focuses on getting clean water to as many people in the world as possible. They donate 100% of their money to building wells so that villages can get safe drinking water. $20 can give clean water to a person for over 20 years. So maybe instead of spending that $20 on your next sushi outing that can only last one meal, why don't you spend that $20 to save a person's life?
This year, I'm donating my birthday once again. I don't want any presents for my birthday. All I want is for you to donate to charity: water so that people all around the world can get access to safe drinking water. The campaign page will be put up sometime in November. Please keep this idea safe in your heart and pray for those in need. Pray that people will start opening up their eyes to things other then global warming and poverty. Pray that this water may be beneficial to their bodies and to their growth. Water is a global crisis and it is in need of international awareness. Spread the word.
