Why Arav Kaushik is fundraising for clean water

[My Campaign Message: https://youtu.be/vR5Bxnmj71g]
I’m Arav, and for the 4th year in a row I am giving up birthday presents and asking that people donate to my campaign instead. All that money will help the folks at charity:water build water pumps and wells that will bring clean water to entire villages, improving the lives of children and their families, and putting a smile on their face. I especially love that all the money goes to fund water projects, and I get to find out exactly who gets helped.

And this year, I have a surprise for you: when my campaign ends, I'm going to create a piece of art that incorporates the names of every person who donates to my campaign. Aiding me will be my cool but somewhat difficult to manage assistant - my dad. And when it is finished, I will take that art work to the charity:water offices and give it to them, as a sign of my admiration for the amazing work they do in solving the water crisis. None of this would be happening without their hard work and dedication, and I really think they are awesome.

So please donate, and join me in improving the lives of people in real need.
