charity: water A great turn around story . Proves one person can make a significant change. He’s 100% right. I too like him have seen this unbelievable poverty. He’s right and it doesn’t matter where he’s come from what his past is how morally bankrupt he’s been he is doing something good now and that is all that matters. Is it coincidence I should see this a week before my birthday? Nope. It is divine intervention. So I ask on my birthday I am turning 50 this year I was gonna lie and be all vain but thanks to my beautiful niece and how I see myself through her eyes I realize being 50 is actually awesome and then I see this man saying I can do something profound and help out our water on my birthday well you know what comes next. My wish is that we save our water. Because though some of us are blessed to live in Tobermory - fresh water is something every human needs to survive. How can a govt rip babies out of their mothers arms. Stop all this moral bankruptcy. Stop arise realize you are greater than you realize. This hand held magic device can do amazing things. It can alienate sure but it can also be used for amazing good. As your mind can comprehend so shall it become. For my birthday please realize.. yes we all have fears about the internet whatever; but see even a bar fly can instantly become a call for action and someone incredibly capable of changing our world. I support him. I have seen so many things in my travels. Poverty like we in the west cannot comprehend. Clean water and food sustains us. It must be for all. Not for just I. When I was 15 I watched a man die in my arms at the Atanacio Clinic. He had no money and had fallen from his caribou cart - he had no family; no money; no health care so they told me I could help pump his hand held oxygen; his eyes rolled up at me I smiled at him feeling loneliness like I have never before in my 15 years ever experienced TIL that moment for he was gone. There was nothing I could do and all of the doctors and nurses were busy with others. I saw tumors growing out of a girls eye but she has to live like that; it was too much to comprehend, it’s taken me to here to realize there is something I can do.. maybe technology had to catch up with me first. Please he is right. Everyone should have the right to feed their baby fresh water and food. Everyone among us. I cry thinking of all our waste and excess and our spoiled behaviours; how we demand service and don’t say thank you; don’t even acknowledge the beautiful person who made your coffee or swept your floor; or took out your garbage... do you not see they are the very same as you. Just getting through their day the best way they know how. Let’s help this awesome leader with his water project because he has found a way for us to be real and to really help. Here is where we can actually make a difference. For my birthday I ask for us all to join him. We are powerful in number; we are powerful in strength; we are powerful as a collective and we can clean up our water and be sure everyone has clean water and a good meal in their belly. I want to see my face as one of his photos. But I need your help🙏 They only let me tag 100 people but I want to tag more!!! ... See more
At 28 years old, Scott Harrison had it all. A top nightclub promoter in New York City, his life was an endless cycle of drugs, booze, models—repeat. But 10 years in, desperately unhappy and morally bankrupt, he asked himself, "What would the exact opposite of my life look like?" Walking away from everything, Scott spent the next 16 months on a hospital ship in West Africa and discovered his true calling. In 2006, with no money and less than no experience, he founded charity: water. Today, charity: water has raised over $300 million to bring clean drinking water to more than 8.4 million people around the world. ... See more
