It is two weeks before my birthday. I will be 28. During such years I have had many adventures, acquired interesting trinkets, met and befriended so many amazing people, and discovered I love water. Whether the source of water be a river, lake, or ocean, I adore the sound, the motion of the waves, and a refreshing swim! I have had many a lovely run next to the Willamette River here in Portland. Even more so, however, is the necessity for water consumption for healthy bodies. We are so blessed to have easy access to a sustained water source. The faucet is merely steps away from where we may be. The villagers of Shikokho have no idea what that looks like. They spend hours each day gathering water for all daily tasks. Sometimes the water is contaminated, sometimes not, but there is no way to know. Please help me celebrate life by giving any amount to this cause of digging a well for improved access to a sustained clean water source. To date, almost 1/4 of the $5000.00 goal has been met. It won't take much, if everyone gave just a little bit, to reach the goal. That specific amount will go to the digging a few kilometers into the earth to tap into the water source. You have the power to make my dream come true. Please give.
