goal
There are 800 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Let's change that!
My birthday is almost here. I'm not usually excited about getting older, but this year I'm really thankful to have lived another happy, healthy year. I recently learned that millions of kids around the world don't live to see their fifth birthday because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. We can help change that.
I'm asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.
Help me reach my goal. Please donate to my birthday campaign!
This visualization says it all. http://gizmodo.com/5909889/awesome-picture-perfectly-shows-how-little-water-there-is-on-earth
The plight of the "developing" countries will be that of all of us if corporations continue to run unchecked, as West Virginia showed us this week.
You are an inspiration to me in the struggle for human rights. Happy birthday!
I am giving $65 because I am turning 65 in a few days. You can donate your age, or whatever amount suits you.
