Dear Friends,

I wanted to inform you of a global citizen project I am working on this year in 8th grade at State College of Florida Collegiate School.

My class and I are partnering with Charity Water. Charity Water is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring clean and safe drinking water to people living in developing countries.

663 million people on this planet don’t have access to clean water. That’s 1 in 11 of us!

That means 1 out of 11 people in our world is drinking water that comes from a river, lake or muddy hole in the ground every day. Dirty, contaminated water that has leeches and debris in it. Water that causes disease, keeps kids out of school and takes hours to bring back home.

What’s NOT crazy is doing something to help. I joined charity: water this year because I believe that every person on the planet deserves clean water, and I’m looking for anyone who can help me.

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

You can give a little or you can give a lot. The craziest thing we can do is nothing.

My campaign is…Just Dance. For every $50 someone donates you get to choose what song we dance to in public and every $100 someone donates you get to choose the song and what we wear to dance to in public. Help us out!

My campaign goal is…$ 450.00

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Sincerely,Ethan Bement, Ethan Bodie, Brendan
