goal
On Aug 30, I'm turning 32. And this year, I don't want presents or drinks. I want clean water. See all that water around me in my picture? I'm at the Georgia Aquarium. A lot of people don't have access to any water, even to drink.
Women and children in the developing world can walk for hours every day, up and down mountains, just to collect water from rivers. And the worst part? The water they collect can make them really sick.
We've never had to move more than a few steps to a faucet. This year, I want to help make that kind of reality possible for someone else. Right now, charity: Water is working on water projects in Rwanda. Just $65 can give someone in Rwanda clean water.
So I'm asking everyone for donations. You can give $32 (cause thats how old i'll be) or anything you want, even if its as low as $5.
The best part is that 100% of the money we raise will directly fund water projects in the Rwanda, and when those projects are complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the impact we made. I can't think of a better birthday gift. Join me!

Good thing you're doing. Happy to be a part of it. :)
Happy Birthday! Since I'm 41, I'll donate that amount. Plus, the whole odd number thing with desis, you know :)
Happy happy birthday Sumier!
Good luck
