Why Jacob Hermeling is fundraising for clean water

December 7th marks my 23rd birthday, but this year its not about me, its about US; giving back. Giving to those who don't have what all of us take for granted, something none of us have ever had to go without.

Clean, safe, sanitary, water.

See there is a water crisis going on in OUR world right now. Over a Billion (with a B) people don't have access to clean drinking water. 80% of the worlds major contracted diseases are directly water related. 4,500 children alone will die today due to a lack of clean safe drinking water. The problem is there and we have a SIMPLE solution. These technologies are already discovered they just need to be funded and employed to the remote areas that don't have the resources. We are in a position to give them those resources and with charity: water its incredibly simple and convenient to do so. Within 12-18 months there will be a well installed for a community in need and all those who have helped in any way will get feedback from the completion of this project. GPS geotagging on Google Maps will give you an exact latitudinal and longitudinal reference to see where the well is located. Photos and video footage of the process as well as testimonials from the lives who are positively effected will be conveniently posted on a website or email. Here is a way to see exactly where your money is going, down to the penny and because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations will go directly to the project fund. Thank you for joining me in this cause, together we will bring clean drinking water to all who don't have it. This year it's not about the democrats or the republicans, its about those who HAVE coming together and giving to those who don't.
As the apostle Paul instructs us in Colossians.

"And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of unity." Colossians 3:14

I truly believe that the greatest act of thankfulness is demonstrated through sharing. Share with me this year and together we will wear charity.
