A Little Change Makes A Big Difference

This project started with funding of $5.41. This was change I had picked up on the road while running. Thanks to the generous response by so many caring people, it appears we are now going to be able to provide clean water for more than the 4,000 people originally expected.

This is not about one person doing a big thing. It is about the powerful impact that many caring people can have by doing a small thing. The goal is to have 500 people donate $10 or $0.10 per mile for the 100-mile race I am running. That $10 (the cost of a movie ticket or less than some people spend on soft drinks in a week) can save a life. $1 will provide clean water for one person in Africa for a year. Most people have never been really thirsty; not like the people of Kalimani who have to walk miles every day to drink dirty water, risking disease, in order to survive. Babies die every 15 seconds in Africa due to the lack of clean water and sanitary conditions. Your donation will change that., which is something you can feel good about also.

People have given $10 and much larger amounts. Every dollar is appreciated and will go to save a life. These people who are so desperately in need, appreciate your consideration to donate to help provide this basic human need of clean water. Picasso once said, "Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together." The small acts by the people who provide assistance in the project, will save lives, which is GREAT thing.

Thank you for helping.
