Walk for Water 2013

Charleston Walk for Water, Charleston, S.C.
The rain held off just long enough for the 7th annual Walk for Water sponsored by Water Missions International to be a grand success. Raising money to provide safe water around the world, walkers carried empty buckets and filled them up half walk through the walk. I saw lots of familiar faces, co workers and friends. Thanks to everyone who supports this cause.

I was one of the lucky ones who has seen this put into action when I went to Kenya a few years ago to document the installation of a water purification system for a small hospital and community. It has been grand hearing about the different clean drinking water has made.

Great event! A life-saving liquid that tastes so good! I saw some rudimentary but very crude hand-made water filter systems in some of the poor neighborhoods in Mexico. Awareness of the problems and some of the easy solutions in some countries is very critical.

I remember your trip to Kenya from your blog posts. A very worthy cause, indeed, and you deserve a lot of credit for all the work you do!
