Moving Mountains

"No matter how insignificant what you do may seem, it is important that you do it."

-Ghandi

"Nothing is more important to instill in our children than the desire to help others"

-Matt Damon

FACTS:

"Every 15 seconds , a child dies because of a lack of water and sanitation!"

"A billion people on our planet will never have a clean drink of water!"

"2.5 billion people in the world do not have toilet facilities!"

I know it has been a while since anything has been posted. But today I read this article (about the children in Africa, Haiti... and other places, that are dying and suffering because of their lack of clean water), and after reading it, I thought I would post this, and try to help out, even if it is just a little.

All it takes to give someone clean water for life is $25!

That alone could save someone's life.

Every contribution will help, if 25 people give 1 dollar, then another person can live.

If we spread this message, we can save hundreds of lives. Water is something that we all take for granted.

Think how many lives would be saved if every person that is able to donated $1 to help give clean water to those that otherwise would never have it!

The Final Result:

There is no replacement for the look of gratitude one receives after an act of service

Special thanks to all those who helped out in changing this room, for the bed and furniture provided, for the cleaning equipment, for the help moving and cleaning, and for all who helped out in small and big ways, you know who you are!... since then, his energy seems to have been lifted, he alone is now fixing up his house and has a greater desire to continue on, to endure to the end!

Un agradecimiento especial a todos que nos ayudaron, por la cama y los muebles, por los que ayudaron mover cosas, y por el los herramientas prestadas para limpiar y por todo que nos ayudaron, saben quienes son!
