An inspiring story happened this week, in the midst of a trajedy. A nine year old girl had a goal for her birthday of foregoing all birthday gifts and money in order to raise $300 to provide water to developing nations. As her birthday came and went she fell slightly short of her goal, hitting $220. Shortly after her birthday the nine year old girl was killed in a fatal car accident. Hearing about this story and the dedication the girl had to hitting her goal and exceeding it on her 10th birthday, charity:water opened her campaign back up. In less than a week of doing this donations poured and soared in excess of the $300 to a current total of $234,771 and counting, which will serve over 11,738 people currently who do not have clean water.

Based on the story above, the team that I am a part of at SkillSoft wants to continue in the footsteps of this nine-year old and her enthusiasm to have a visible impact in giving the gift of water to those in need.

Thank you in advance for your support and donation to this great cause.
