Water = Life!

As I have traveled around this awesome planet and met people from nearly all regions, I have become aware of a major issue. One vital resource is missing out there, especially with our brothers and sisters in impoverished regions: Clean Water.

We can offer her as much medicine as we want, but if a poor woman has to drink her antibiotics with stagnant water from the same pond she bathes in, what use is it?

We can provide food and vitamins to people in villages and townships, but if they drink from the stream where cattle and other animals are defecating, they will still die from malnutrition when their intestines are infiltrated with parasites and disease.

I’ve decided that the most important first step in helping others is to provide them with clean water by drilling wells. My marketing consulting experience has allowed me to work with several organizations that are doing just that – delivering this fundamental resource to those who need it, often times before governments get involved! Please join me in making this cause a major focus – it’s only through clean water that we’ll truly be able to save many millions of people in this world that are suffering with disease and starvation!

Here are a few organizations focused on this problem – feel free to contact them and help however you can! Whether it’s with a donation, taking a sabbatical to work with them in the field, providing donated services, etc., you can make a difference in the world!
