Ever hear of charitywater.org? It is a non-profit organization that provides clean drinking water to developing nations. Thousands of children die because they do not have clean drinking water, and instead are left with nothing but dirty, contaminated water to drink. Think about how much we take for granted our daily water supply? We throw bottles of water away and waste water by over using it. I know it's hard to grasp the concept of people not having water and what it would actually be like to not have water supply right in front of us, but it is a real world problem, and this organization is trying to reach out and get people educated and involved. I love how they have a birthday pledge where instead of getting presents for your birthday, you ask for people to donate money to give these poor kids clean water for at least a day. Even a small donation like $20 will go a long way.
Here are a few links to help you learn about the organization and see what they are all about.
