Friday at 10 p.m., ABC 20/20 is running a feature on charity: water’s work in Central African Republic! They’re focusing on this year’s September Campaign, from what happened in our NYC office to the work on the ground, drilling the wells.

Get some friends over, pop some corn, settle in on the couch to watch — and keep an eye on Twitter as you do. @charitywater, @scottharrison and @jimhocking (director of our partnering organization in C.A.R.) will be Tweeting throughout the show, using #2020.

We’re excited to watch the show and hear your Tweeted responses tomorrow night… but in the mean time, check out these short sneak previews of what’s to come from 20/20:

from C.A.R.: Splashes of Joy in Africa

Scott: fighting ‘compassion fatigue’

Can’t make the show on Friday night? Set your DVR to record it. Or, check back with us here on the blog next week — we’ll post the show once 20/20 puts it up on their site.

    Is Scott going to finally mention monitoring of Mogotio?

      Hi, Waterfriend —

      Scott’s talked about the well at Mogotio publicly several times. Mogotio was redrilled recently after we secured new permits… there’s no flouride in the current water source. Email info@charitywater.org if you’d like more information about that specific project.

      Thanks!

    My Brother is in Kenya now, with 2 others feeding 500 families. In less than 2 months God provided enough money to not only feed 500 families but to put in a well. They will put in the well, not this trip but at a later date. Its great to see people getting clean water.

    My daughter prays for Haiti everyday that they would get fresh water. She has even started filling an empty water bottle with coins from chores that she does around the house and people who have shared with her in her hopes to provide clean water for Haiti. She is 4 years old.

    You couldn't have said it better, Scott. We don't give with a negative perception and a fear that this isn't going to change the world- we give because it will touch people's lives. And that is what matters, no matter how much it “costs”. Proverbs 11:24. :)
