On 27 March, I'm turning 32.

I'm fortunate to have friends like you lot. Every year you take me on a walk around town and buy me beers to numb the pain.

This year I'm asking everyone I know, not to buy me beers (or presents). Instead, maybe you would help me 'buy' a freshwater well instead, for those who don't have clean water.

You see, millions of people don't live to see their 5th birthday. Only because they did not have access to clean, safe water.

Every dollar is "proved" when the projects are complete, and photos and GPS coordinates are posted using Google Earth, to everyone who donated.

My goal is to raise $100. That's 20 beers. Or, a water supply for 5 people. Or more than my weak aging liver can handle anyway.

Cheers,
Lewis

14 Mar: Don't be put off by the $32, $320 defaults. I could not change that.

14 Mar: I'll have a collection tin in my office for those of you who only have beer-money in cash. *snap* =)
