Charity Water

My visit to charity water was an enlightening, and surprising one.  The organization champions a very noble cause.  The office was well kept, and the people all friendly.  Charity water is dedicated to building wells, and purifying wells for villages and people in Africa.  They also supply containers used to transport water to poor villagers that would otherwise have no means to haul water back to the village.  We signed up for the school program, where students spread awareness about the water situation in Africa.  We also recieved bracelets, which are sold for 5 dollars each, and support wells in Africa.  Our tour guide described to us the situation in Africa.  Many people have to walk 10 miles a day just to receive a meager amount of drinkable water.  Much of it is dainted with disease, and wells frequently and quickly dry up, or become contaminated.  I felt very impressed with what the organization has accomplished.  It was started by one man, and it grew into an international organiziation that is making an effect on the world.  It was an inspiring experience, and teaches what perserverence and inspiration can accomplish.
