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.

Our campaign focuses on the power of music to bring people together. With concerts centered upon musical works that in some way incorporate the theme of water, we hope to bring attention to the vibrant cultures and communities that are brought together in the charity: water project.

The kickoff concert for our campaign is entitled "The Wave of Life," featuring world-class musicians at the upcoming Hawaii Chamber Music Festival. More information about the program is available at https://www.hawaiicmf.org/buy-tickets/the-wave-of-life. For each ticket sold, $1 will be donated to the charity: water campaign. Please consider donating even if you are unable to attend the magnificent concert!
