Only 5 Bucks Can Help Bring Clean Water To People



"Only 5 Bucks Can
Help Bring Clean Water To People"

A Beautiful Moment In Time Can Be When A Person Drinks Clean Water For Once

The beautiful moments we share come in all shapes and sizes. Together times after a family event, an encouraging "win" at some aspect of life, taking a brisk walk in a beautiful fall setting or a relaxing day at the beach. 

But for many it can be when they are able to enjoy the "simple" pleasure of drinking water that is safe to drink: truly safe.  Clean, non-disease carrying water. 

Our Time Sensitive Campaign

Very recently, my wife and I learned about charity:water and decided to create a time sensitive campaign (87 days left as of this posting date) to help raise water in developing nations.  The name of our campaign is 5 Bucks For 10,000.

5 Bucks For 10,000

Let's talk about water for a moment.  (Facts I learned from charity:water).
  • Right now, almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean, safe drinking water. That’s one in eight of us.
  • The UN predicts that one tenth of the global disease burden can be prevented simply by improving water supply and sanitation.
  • Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of diseases and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
How Just 5 Bucks Can Help

When we learned about the possibility of developing our own campaign to provide drinking what for the developing nations, we decided to create a campaign that was simple, doable and, therefore, helpful to many.

Now stop and reflect on these thoughts:
  • One $5.00 Dollar gift = doable.
  • 2,000 people giving one $5.00 gift = doable.
  • The result: $10,000! (And that's not bad for being doable don't you think?).
Responding. Reflecting. Deciding.
  • Would you consider giving Just 5 Bucks to something like this?  No guilt trips here: none in the least.  If you can and heart says "move on it," fine.  If not, that's fine as well.  All of us give as we feel we can and according to the leading of our hearts.
  • Another possibility would to sharing the campaign with others: know of anyone you could share it with through an email list, Twitter or Facebook?
  • Regarding the subject of giving back or leaving a legacy, did any ideas come to your mind about how you might either "give back" or complement your desire to leave a positive legacy in a positive way?
  • This brings up the subject of values.  If you happen to be in business of some sort, what advice would you give to someone about identifying and living by their most cherished values while in the process of being involved in something like attraction marketing for instance?
