Has anyone ever stopped to take a single moment out of their life to think about what water really is?
Besides it being a molecule that contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds, lets think about how we use it in our daily lives. Like for instance, yesterday I got up and brushed my teeth (water), used the restroom (water), made some breakfast (water), started a load of laundry (water), and did the dishes (water). Now that is just one typical morning and I used the resource of (water) over 5 times, but more importantly the most critical (water) source was that I was able to get up and drink a clean glass of water.
Did you know that water covers 70.9% of the Earth’s surface and it is vital for ALL known forms of LIFE? Safe drinking water is essential for all humans and other life forms.
After working with WATERisLIFE I have been thinking how crucial it is to have clean water. Even though clean water has improved and is more prevalent over the last couple of decades we forget about those who are still suffering. There are still over 1 billion people who lack clean drinking water and over 2.5 billion who lack access to sanitation.
With the vision of WATERisLIFE there is HOPE, by reaching out to those in destitute conditions and distributing filtration straws and drilling wells allowing them to have clean running water.
I have a hard time thinking what I can do for WATERisLIFE, I feel so small to tackle so much suffering but all it takes is one heart and one choice to help those in need. Whether it’s choosing to simply cut out StarBucks each week and instead putting that money towards WIL so that they may be able to buy more equipment for the wells would be a good start. Or choose to volunteer my free time to help raise money for the organization, or choose to donate one straw or 10,000 straws there is always something I CAN DO TO HELP. The most important thing that I have to remember is that choosing to sacrifice something big or small, I am still making a DIFFERENCE in others lives.
