If that picture's any indication, I'm probably already double fisting, so buy someone else a drink! =)

As I celebrate my 28th birthday, I'm realizing more and more that I have a lot for which to be thankful. I'd say we all do.

So this year, I'd like to pay it forward.

Instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking everyone I know to donate whatever amount they can, no matter how small. It's not going to me, though. All of it is going to build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.

A billion people in the world are living without clean water - but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.

My birthday wish is to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year. Please join me.

Thank you and much love to you all!

Cheers!
Nimz

Note: Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.
