Water is Basic
Saturday, November 1st, 2008
Earlier today, my family walked/ran in the 2nd annual 5K charity event to benefit Water is Basic for the people of Sudan. The startling fact: 1 in 8 children die before the age of 5 because of unclean water. That sounds like such a simple thing, and yet this basic need is not being fulfilled.
As the end of the year approaches, please consider this cause for your year-end giving. I know the economy is tight (to say the least), only I encourage you to keep charitable donations as an essential line item in your budget. Especially in tough economic times, nonprofits are counting on you.
