Charity: Water

I made a new find this morning and I feel the overwhelming need to share this with as many people as possible. It's called Charity: Water. It is a non-profit organization that travels the world to dig wells for villages who are unable to get their own clean water. This month they are doing a special campaign to help villages in Ethiopia. They are asking people who have September birthdays to ask their friends and family to donate money to the charity instead of giving them presents. If you have a September birthday go to the website, www.charitywater.org or www.borninseptember.org, and you can make your own page in order to spread the word to your friends and family. If you don't have a September birthday, still go to the website and just find a random person's page to donate on. THIS IS IMPORTANT PEOPLE!!! One in six people don't have access to clean water and thousands of people die each day from water related diseases. What a useless way to die. We all have so much we are able to give and more often than not, all we end up giving are excuses as to why we can't make a difference. This is your chance. All you have to do is donate, it's that simple.
