Charity: Water.
At the top... my intro says I will confess a small amount of things that are right.
Well these are one of those moments where you get to knwo of the good heart that I can actually have.
================
================
================
I remember when Jay went to Africa and did the water for life thing.
I thought about that recently and was like...
When I get the time to do something about that... I will..
so I signed up for this site where for every hit that you get you gain a point and the points add up to gain more money towards the cause that you choose.
There was a charity there called Charity:water.
This man who's name is Scott Harrison travels to places where clean drinking water is scarce and has raised money to build pumps so they can have clean filtered drinking water. How he suddenly started all this.. well his story can be found here
http://www.charitywater.org/about/scotts_story.htm
Go read it its really inspirational.
Now to many this might not be a big thing or a cause they would have picked but these are the main reasons why:
Clean water is important.
Why?
Well for one.. you could actually live many more days without food than clean drinkable water being that your body is made up of i think 60 percent of water. These kids wash in parasitic waters and normally get infected by water borne diseases we would NEVER come across due to the fact that we wouldn't have to walk about 5 miles to a watering hole where animals even drink from.
Yeah it just got real for you huh?
Like dead ass think about waking up and having to walk miles just to get water to take a bath.... oh and the catch... your body is only able to carry a gallon at a time due to th fact that you are already dehydrated.
Imagine how may trips you would have to make just to wash properly.
And thats only for you...
think about the fact that you have about 4 children that need the very same amount of water you walked for....
crazy huh?
Yeah when i think about it its really wild.
So with that said I will purchase a 20 dollar bottle of REGULAR water from charity:water in hopes that all my money goes to building a pump somewhere in a foreign land and feel a little better knowing a family will be able to cook,bathe, and drink.... clean water...
because in the end.. they deserve much better.
