Matt and I and friends have decided to opt for WATER rather than other drinks for 11 days in April leading up to Easter.
!(((Please consider participating with us and let me know if you do - so we can do it together)))!
We do this out of consideration for those around the world who do not even have the option of clean drinking water, as advocates for the thirsty and in solidarity with the poor. We will be donating funds that we would have otherwise spent on beverages to a clean water project:::
such as::
www.bloodwatermission.com - founded by Jars of Clay, began as a call to personalize the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa and realized a vital link between living with HIV/AIDS and the need for clean water
www.water.cc - Living Water International out of Denver, is an implementer of participatory, community-based water solutions in developing nations
~~~~~~
So, raise your glass of water and let's make a toast to changing the world or at least to not being ok with the way things are.

(more organizations to come)

This is a great idea, guys! I would love to participate.
Another organization worth checking into is www.charitywater.org. These are some friends of my sister's in NYC and they are doing great work.
Love!
hooray Milley - thanks for participating - and thanks for the recommendation - it's great to hear about the good things people are doing to bring such basic necessities to those without.
