Why BillyRay Haynes is fundraising for clean water

The weekend of May 28th 2011, I graduated from San Jose State University and I am so excited!

I'm also pretty grateful and lucky to have made it this far. What on earth am I going to do with my life? I have no idea at this point. But I know one thing we can do in the immediate future; help kids in need!

Proverbs 22:9 "He who is generous will be blessed, for he/she gives some of his food to the poor."

I already knew a lot of kids couldn't afford college. I already knew that some kids in the world quit school to fend for their families.

But then I found out that hundreds of thousands of children aren't able to attend school- not because they had to work or because of money - but because they spent their days walking miles for water.

It's a basic human need... more than a billion people on the planet don't have access to it. :(

I'm on a mission to change this. Instead of supporting me with graduation gifts or money, I'm asking you and anyone you know to donate so we can fund water wells in developing countries. 100% of every dollar we raise goes to water projects, and when projects are complete, all are "proved" using GPS technology and photos and posted on Google Earth. I want to raise at least 2011 dollars, which is enough money to provide 100 people with clean water, but I have faith that we can do better than that, God willing.

With your support, I've been able to graduate. With our support, these kids can have a chance at a basic necessity.

Please join me in helping.

Proverbs 25:21 "... give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink."
