LIVING WATER INTERNATIONAL

Reading for Clean Water Worldwide!

Reading for Clean Water Worldwide!

AHHHHH! I am setting the goal for $400!!!

Think about how you would like to support Living Water International, you could do a set ammount, a price per book (last read-a-thon I did $5 per book and many of you joined me on that, even busting out up to $20 per book!!) or you could donate per page. I think this time I myself am going to donate per page, since some books are longer and some shorter I think per page is a little more acurate of a count.

To give you an idea last time I read 933 pages. I was dying to crack 1000 but didn't quite make it :( this time I am shooting for 1000. I read 4 books last time and made it most of the way through my 5th, but didn't quite get there. You see, reading for 24 hours straight sounds like a lot of fun (oh, and it really is!!) but when you have been reading for so long your eyes dry out and you start to drift.

What do you think? Are you going to do the read-a-thon? Consider supporting
Living Water International too! Or do you want to support the cause? You can either comment below, or send me an email and make a pledge.


More information:

I did a third party search of this charity, and it
gets amazing results for eficiency and good use of funds and much more on Charity Navigator. If you want more info on why this charity is important to me: Reading for Clean Water I

here are the facts and why I embrace this cause:

Water-related disease is the single largest killer of infants in developing countries—diarrhea alone causes 1.8 million child deaths each year—and access to safe water is the most important factor in the survival of children under the age of five. Nearly half of all people in developing countries are suffering from water-related health problems. The annual number of deaths from water-related diseases is six times greater than the number of deaths from armed violence.

So why don't I take a part, take a little step. If we all did, the problem would be resolved. Yes RESOLVED!

 

Want to join in on this??? Tell me about it. You can sponsor me too, or you can do the same thing I am doing. Let's make the difference!
