My birthday is just around the corner. I normally do not celebrate getting older, but this year is an exception. I’m really thankful to have lived another happy, healthy year. Recently I’ve learned that millions of kids around the world don’t live to see their fifth birthday because they don’t have access to clean, safe drinking water. We can help change that. And I am celebrating my birthday this year for that very purpose.
Help me in my campaign to raise awareness on the current water crisis. One out of nine people do not have access to clean and safe drinking water. Imagine you had tons of water, but none of it was clean. Imagine having to drink, cook and clean with that water — knowing that it would make you and your family sick.
That’s the reality for 33% of the people living in Cambodia. But it doesn’t have to be. Just $65 is enough money to fund a BioSand Filter and serve an entire family with clean water for years to come. Which means we can change the lives of so many families in need.
Celebrate my birthday with me by donating to http://my.charitywater.org/clean-w-a-t-e-r-in-cambodia. I’d like to ask for my age equivalent in dollars, if you’re up for a little fun! If not, any amount will be greatly appreciated because you will have helped make this birthday truly a memorable and meaningful one. And if you need a little incentive, I’d be happy to give away a nice surprise to lucky donors.
100% of the money raised will go directly to water project costs, funding long-lasting clean water solutions in Cambodia. When the projects are finished, charity:water will show us the exact communities we’ve helped using photos and GPS coordinates.
So to all of my friends and acquaintances, please join me in meeting my goal. Together, let us help provide Clean W-A-T-E-R (Water Access To Every Resident) in Cambodia!
You don’t have to be rich in order to give (St. Pedro Poveda)… you just have to have a heart. Because when you “put heartfelt love into everything you do” (Josefa Segovia), that in itself is already giving – and giving richly!
