This is a wonderful thing you're doing, Joe and you're a wonderful person for doing it!

Brother Joe's bday present

Thank you sincerely again to all those who donated to Charity:Water with me last summer. I just received the following update from them, and wanted to pass it along:

Because you donated, families in Mozambique will soon have clean water to drink...

Why Mozambique?

Mozambique underwent a civil war that led to extreme poverty and severely unhealthy living conditions. In addition, floods and earthquakes exacerbate the growing water crisis. With the 22nd highest child mortality rate in the world, every year 82,000 children in Mozambique don't make it to the age of five.
Recently, Mozambique has made incredible strides toward development, and providing access to clean water is a major priority.

What’s next?

Thanks to you, our partner organization, World Vision, Inc., is busy working on 76 projects. When those projects are complete, we'll collect GPS coordinates, photos, and other details about each community to show you the impact you’ve made in Mozambique.

Receiving this notification motivated me to re-open the campaign (link below) and hopefully reach the $3600 by July 18th. I'm planning to run a Tough Mudder soon too to raise funds as well. Anything you can give would be much appreciated to reach that top goal. THANKS AGAIN!
