Cosette became aware of poverty at age 3, and her heart was moved. She decided to start selling her paintings so she could help. She believes we all have the ability to help change the world. Her way to help is through her art. On October 6th in Calgary, Alberta she will be hosting a gallery show. She has been working on a collection for the past year. Through the auction of her own pieces and some other donated pieces all of the money will be going to help her charity goals. This is her 5th Charity:Water campaign. Even if you can't attend the event, we'd love for you to donate whatever you can.

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
