Why James Pothen is fundraising for clean water

Hello friend and family,

first off let me say thank you for 24 awesome birthdays. Over the years I've gotten lots of nice things. So many in fact, that this year I thought we could all try something different.

See, clean water is a personal issue for me. I studied water purification in college and was able to visit Honduras to see the difference it made in communities there. Clean water means better hygiene, no diarrhea, and the ability to do simple things like take showers and drink from the tap.

I hope you'll join me this year. I'm turning 25, so a $25 gift would be amazing. Thank you all so much!

"For waters break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert; the burning sands shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water"
