Water is something to be celebrated. It is more valuable than oil, more precious than gold. It is the essential ingredient of our life, our culture, our history and our future. Water is essential for life. 1.1 Billion people in the world do not have access to clean water. That is one in six of us. In January and November of last year, I was lucky enough to see this for myself by traveling to West Africa with an organization calledWorld Hope International. In Sierra Leone, life expectancy is 42 years old and 40%of children under the age of 5 die from preventable water-born diseases.World Hope International is working to drill wells in the rural villages of Sierra Leone.Many of these villages have a plentiful supply of clean water just below the ground but they have no way to get to it. By raising money to fund drilling rigs and dig the wells,World Hope International is working to impact the lives in these communities by creating sustainable change. It is so simple. It’s WATER.
WATER IS LIFE
