CHARITY:WATER CONTINUES TO DO GREAT WORK…BRINGING CLEAN AND SAFE DRINKING WATER TO PEOPLE IN DEVELOPING NATIONS.

charity:water uses a different approach to bring clean and safe drinking water to Cambodian families.

Scott Harrison from a February 8, 2009 charity: water blog post: Most of the projects charity:water funds around the world deliver clean water at the
community level. Deep and shallow wells, spring protections, rainwater catchment systems, etc.

In rural Cambodia, we’ve got a different approach. Water is abundant here, but rarely clean. We always look to find the most appropriate technology to solve water problems, and here we’ve found that’s the household BioSand filter (BSF) which can serve a family of up to 10 people.

Here are photos, that further explain BioSand filters.

“THERE IS STRENGTH IN UNITY”

Hundreds gathered united at the Washington National Cathedral to show their support through prayer and monetary donations for the Haitian community. Additionally thousands came from Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia to the Haitian Embassy, literally causing traffic jams, to drop off donated goods gathered from family, friends and neighbors. All of these folks mobilized in less time than it takes to do a days work, but the goodwill generated from their efforts will reverberate a lifetime, and certainly through the rebuilding of Haiti.

Fox 5 does a nice job in the following videos to show us the depth of human compassion and the immediate impact it has on those in the Washington DC area who have loved ones surrounded by the devastation in Haiti.
