From me:
I'm going to be 29 this year. Every year it gets harder to know what to say when people ask what I want for my birthday, because I don't want anything. Other people need things so much more.

I ran a Charity:Water campaign a couple of years ago and the money it raised funded a biosand filter for a community in Cambodia. They do amazing work. If my 29th year means another community gets clean water, I'm going to feel a little bit brighter about 2017.

Here's the official blurb:

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
