Please consider donating even a dollar for Christmas as this cause is soooo very close to my heart! So many children in Ethiopia and around the world die every day because they do not have access to clean water! By this I mean they drink water that I wouldn't even swim in...water that carries disease from feces, of animals and humans because they lack the money to install a well. Young girls often walk for 3-8 hours a day just to provide enough "dirty" water for a family for the day to cook thier food. This often leaves them with stunted growth (from carrying the heavy load) and without time to receive an education if it is available in thier area.

    That is amazing. You know so many times we think poor me, but we don't really realize how blessed we are to live in a country where we can just turn on the facet. I never thought of it until this video.
