Scott, your video has moved me to tears.
It's not just because you are directly saving lives and providing skills and tools to water-impoverished areas enabling them to continue on to self sufficiency and good health, but you are sharing a global grassroots template that speaks to the needs of 2009.
I believe there is an enormous hollow in the hearts of the formerly self indulgent from the first world crying to make sense of a vacancy in their lives. Inward focus has turned outward. The old definition of success, “look-at-me-see-what-I-have!” has evolved to “look-at-them-what-can-I-do?”
Your innovative use of communication has delivered a problem and a solution directly into the world community bread baskets. You’ve made it so easy for us to see, feel, contribute, and heal.
Thank you. Cheryl A. Schwartz / aeropolowoman
I was also moved to tears by this video. I received this video at the perfect time - I was just about to respond to a letter in the comments & views section of a local paper discussing, "The Love Affair With Bottled Water Is Over". With the information from Charity: Water, I now have a better grasp of what I should write in my article.
Scott, keep up the great work!
