goal
In October I'm turning 60. This year I'm sharing my birthday with an organization called charity: water. They help bring clean drinking water to people in need. We probably all take water for granted. I don't want to do that anymore.
Almost 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. 30,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but they still have to walk hours each day to get dirty water for 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 people living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.
Please join me. Joannie
