Why Shejal Desai Carpenter is fundraising for clean water

It's October 1, and we can proudly say our tribe of friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues GOT CHARITABLE! We are so lucky and proud to be a part of this group of people! On September 11th we hit our original $7000 goal, and on September 30th we reached our revised goal ($8350) and brought 3 more families clean drinking water into their homes! But our tribe keeps on giving, and there is no limit to giving charitably and helping those who need it. So let's keep on giving! Our campaign will remain open until 12/31/2013.
*****************************************************************************
Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have abundant access to clean water - it's right at our fingertips, any time we want it.

But many people in the developing world don't have this luxury. In India, for instance, an estimated 8% of the population doesn't have access to water - that is 100 million people! We are dedicating our birthdays, and the entire month of September, to appreciating water and to raising money to create long-lasting clean water solutions in India.

How? We decided for the month of September to #GetMoving by exercising our bodies and minds for 30 days straight, so we can #GeThirsty. We shared our journey on social media to inspire you to #GetMoving too!

Now, let's keep up with this momentum and finish out 2013 by accomplishing our goals and crossing them off our list (marked DONE)! For the rest of 2013 we will continue to #GetMoving on goals we want to accomplish and we will #GeThirsty to achieve them!

And you can still #GetCharitable by donating to this special campaign for India:
$45 = clean water solution for 1 person
$450 = clean water solution for 1 household

Let’s make a difference together to bring clean water to India!
