Why Hein Bester is fundraising for clean water

On 22 July 2010, I'm turning 34.

At first, this seemed surreal, even daunting, with the baby on his way and all.

But then I found out that millions of people don't live to see their 5th birthday. And why? Because they didn't have access to clean, safe water.

So I'm not scared of turning 34 anymore. In fact, I'm celebrating my birthday like never before.

Instead of asking for gifts for myself this year, I'm asking for $34 (about £20 or R100 or £5 or £10 or any possible contribution) from everyone I know - and every penny of the money raised will go directly to fund freshwater wells in developing nations. Even better, every dollar is "proved" when the projects are complete, and photos and GPS coordinates are posted using Google Earth.

My goal is to raise $1000 by my boy's birth, 8 October 2010.

Please consider helping me and sharing the message.
