Do you have….

….ten minutes to help a worthy cause?

See
Spend 4 minutes 20 seconds of those, watching this video….

Think
Spend the next minute or so, thinking about how your last glass of water tasted… and what it could have tasted like. For those who are fasting, think about how the first drop of water, which passes your lips, feels and tastes like… and then think of those who are not fortunate enough.

Act
… but don’t think too long, because one needs to do something about these thoughts too. Charity:Water is a NPO which brings clean and safe drinking water to people around the world. You can read more about their structure and them as an organisation here – [About Charity:Water].

More importantly, why don’t you dig into your pockets a little, and contribute something (it can be as little as 5 bucks!) towards providing a basic necessity to the poorest and deprived parts and people on this planet. Go ahead, and create your own fund raising project, or contribute to an existing one – mine for example!

My fundraising page can be found [here]; do spread the word around!

AND – for every comment left on the guest posts in late September and early October [find out more here], I will donate $1 to the project. Will you join me in taking part too? Our target is $1,000 by 27th of November 2009, I think we can easily make it!

To make this a success, I need the help of you – my readers. If you do have any questions, do feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help you out! I can also be reached via Twitter. If you want to be part of this project, drop me a line, and we can talk about expanding the scope of the fundraising; I am always open to ideas. Remember – if you think your idea is “stupid”, then I will be even more interested!

Charity:Water is the main charity supported by myself and this blog. Join my readers, and myself in doing something good!
