I think it's time to give something back to the community, help people in need, try to do something that will really matter

So this year, I'm giving my birthday up.

Instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for $25 or more from everyone I know. It's not going to me, though. All of it is going to build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.

----------------------------------

Pienso que es hora de dar a la comunidad, ayudar gente que necesita de nuestra ayuda, tratar de hacer algo que realmente importa

Asi que este anio he decidido regalar mi cumple

En lugar de pedir regalos, me gustaria que todos aquellos q me conocen donen 25$ o mas por mi cumple. El dinero no sera para mi, sino para crear fuentes de agua limpia en paises en donde no hay sufuciente agua limpia para beber

----------------------------------

A billion people in the world are living without clean water - but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.

My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts I don't need; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.

Please join me.

please note: Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.
