Remember how your mum or doctor would stress how important it was for you to drink enough water everyday? Though it's annoying to hear, they are right. By mass, cells in the human body consist of 65–90% water. That alone should be evident of our dire need to stay replenished.

Yet, nearly 1 billion people around the world lack access to clean, drinkable water. Often times when they do find water, it is disease ridden. Typhoid fever, cholera and dysentery are all common disorders attributed to dirty water. And in nations where healthcare is limited and vastly far between, potable water is a necessity.

For my 23rd (and my 22nd) birthday(s) i have chosen to help raise money for water projects. This year my goal is to supply 23 people with access to clean water.

I appreciate your desire to help in this area. I would also be blessed if you decided to run a similar campaign, whether for clean water, food shortage, or any other social injustice that pulls at your heart. Compared to too many, we have it incredibly easy. We are blessed, but it's better to be a blessing.

thanks!
