Hunger Games...World Water Day...same thing...

Remember how I asked if you wanted to help me and the girls do a little somethin' somethin'???

and a few of you said YES!!!???

well, WE NEED 25 PEOPLE!!!!!!

25 people with $20 that is!

It's world water day.
Water is SO important people.

I remember years ago a friend saying that providing clean water to a community is NOT charity, it is a chance.

If you're sick from horrible water:
 you can't work, you can't provide for your family, you can't go to school, you can't farm, you can't walk....you just simply CAN'T.

Water changes everything.
It gives people THE CHANCE to get up.

IT. IS. NOT. CHARITY.

I LOVE THAT!!!


If you're already on board, go here to donate $20 to some of my people who've checked this all out in person and say it's legit:




so, maybe you've given money before to go help build a well?
or maybe you've gone on a trip to go actually help build a well with your own two hands!?

That's great!!!!

but.....

did you know?
1/3 of all water wells are broken!
:-(

Let's not just throw money at the problem....and walk away.

Let's be creative.

Let's hire someone.
GIVE SOMEONE A JOB!???
YES!!!

To help repair the wells and keep them running.
GIVE A COMMUNITY CLEAN WATER AGAIN!???
YES!!!!





The girls and I have been busy at work creating little water droplet, shrinky dink bookmarks for all our peeps that join us to be creative and raise $550 with us!!!

They are custom made by four of the loveliest little girls out there so let's teach them how easy it is to rally 25 people with $20!!!!


IF WE DO IT TODAY....THERE IS A MATCHING DONATION AND THAT MEANS WE'D HIRE TWO MECHANICS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!!!!


$550....TODAY!

GO HERE to donate so it's official and you get a tax receipt and stuff...

Read this article from Christianity Today's Her.meneutics Blog about
Hunger Games and our 'Capitol' mentality.

Let's not be the Capitol...

Maybe in HONOR of Hunger Games being released today, you could give $25 towards our $550 goal!?
:-)
Shameless Holly, you are shameless.

yes, if it means clean water/a job for a mechanic today (OR TWO!) I WILL BE SHAMELESS AND UNDIGNIFIED!!!!

just to make it easy, remember, for the little girls and in honor of Hunger Games, and 'cause you need a book mark:
