So my friends Jody, Cassie, Amy and Tesi and their orphan care group have another awesome project up and running. I would not do it justice to try and re-write what Jody has written about the project, so please visit this post to find out why they are doing this, and this post to find out how to get involved.
Bottom line: people around the world are drinking dirty water to help them stay alive, only to get sick from the awful things that are in it. 4500 kids die EACH DAY from this. Digging for wells would solve this problem. The US spends 450 Billion Dollars at Christmas each year. It would cost 10 Billion Dollars to give the whole world clean drinking water. Hmmm…do the math.
Those numbers shocked me. I am just as guilty. I am also thinking of things to do this Christmas, or not do, rather, that would instead go to this cause. Click on the banner on the sidebar, or visit one of the blogs I mentioned earlier. Please join us.
