Hello. I'm Joel and I chose Charity:Water to fundraise for.
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.
In late September and most of October, I did a sponsored readathon. This meant I read as many books as I could: specifically these classics:
* Big Fat Zombie Goldfish
* Skylanders: Spyro v Mega Monsters
* Astrosaurs
* Los Tres Cerditos
* Fox in Socks
Some people kindly sponsored me for every minute that I read (254 in total); others equally kindly made simple donations to the cause. If you'd like to do that, I'll be very grateful.
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.
"I WILL MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS I CAN MAKE FOR CLEAN WATER. THANK YOU. FROM JOEL."

Well done Joel! It's a great cause you're helping people with - and great to be reading too... I've thrown in a bonus donation as I didn't know the reading was going to be in two languages. Muy bien! Tito Bob! xx
