Hello :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my campaign page!

During Christmas 2010, friends and family came together to raise an amazing $702 that helped 35 people gain access to clean water. Let's work together this year to beat that amount and help even more people! I'm very grateful for any amount you can give (even $1!), but in the spirit of turning 20, it would be fun if donations could be made in multiples of 20 (20, 40, 60, 80 etc)!

Many of us say we’ll give when we make money with our careers after we graduate. Those of us in school use the excuse that we’re “poor college kids” to not give. We say we’re waiting until we get to the “real world” to make a difference. I think we’re in the real world right now.

God calls us to love Him and to love others - that’s it. That means we need to love others now - not after graduation, not after we get a steady job, not when the economy gets better.

So my prayer is that we can all work together to raise $1,000 by September 30th to bring clean water to 50 people. Check out the video to the right to see what charity : water is all about and I hope you'll consider giving to this awesome cause.

Sincerely,
Rachel

Matthew 22:35-40
One of them (Pharisees), an expert in the law tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commanding in the Law?" Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."

John 14:34-35
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
