goal
I open this campaign with hope. We’re inching gradually in the right direction. When I started walking for water three years ago there were 703 million people without access to clean water. Now that number has dropped to 696 million. Still a long way to go - but, that’s like the Camino.
On the French Way, one starts in the foothills of the Pyrenees in France on what feels like an impossible journey - but, millions of steps later, we’ll arrive. Eventually. One. Step. At. A. Time.
And while the plight of 696 million people without access to lifesaving clean water is still a daunting thought, the 7,000,000+ people who have been helped thus far will confirm - it’s not only possible, it's happening. And, it’s life-changing. A difference is being made. One. Person. At. A. Time.
For all the bad stuff that is going on in our world right now, there is great hope in being part of a good thing. Each $40 raised will provide clean water for life for another person. Please consider joining me in whatever contribution level fits your budget.
Each Camino I’ve walked, I’ve documented the journey on www.MoreLaterFromElsewhere.com. This year, due to time constraints, my goal is shorter than prior years on the French Way. I’ll be starting in western France in mid-May and walking two weeks - about 280 km to Burgos, Spain. Please feel free to follow along. Your encouraging comments, friendship, and general good vibes help to keep me going. 🙂
Buen Camino!
Thank you for your donation - you are changing a life for the better with clean water for life!
Thank you for the lifesaving gift of water for 25 of our neighbors!
