Charity: Water

On December 23, I'm turning 16. At first, this seemed surreal, even daunting. 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 16 anymore. In fact, I'm celebrating my birthday like never before. I'm asking for $16 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 $5,000 by my birthday, December 23. Please consider helping me. Brian Barrett will be turing 17 on December 3rd, he is helping me by collecting 17 dollars from his friends to help make our goal of 5,000. You can donate by visiting my Charity: Water account www.mycharitywater.org/measbirthdayproject where you can find more information on how to get involved. Thanks for your help!
