40 Days of Water

"The needs are great, and none of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.” -Mother Teresa

2 weeks of no pop, coffee, milk, tea, or juice can provide someone in Africa enough clean water for the rest of their life. How? By giving the money you would have spent on these beverages to Blood:Water Mission.

The 40 Days of Water Challenge starts tomorrow, Feb. 17^th. Start with a 2 week goal. Give up all the extraneous drink you have easy access to on a daily basis living in the U.S. and donate the money you save to help people who have no water. The Challenge runs from February 17 – April 3. This is also the duration of Lent, so if you are spurred to make this a part of your fasting, this is a great opportunity.

Water: simple, boring water that we take advantage of everyday. Celebrate the water we have on tap, ready for us to drink, to clean with, and to waste. Sacrifice for people in Africa who need your help.

Collect money on your own and send it to Blood:Water, or get it to Kami Andridge if you live in/around Midland and she will make one mass donation on behalf of the community and students of Mid-Michigan.

Blood:Water Mission is an organization that works with communities in Africa that struggle from HIV/AIDS and a lack of sanitary water. They work to transform the lives and hearts of people from the inside-out. Each situation is unique and nothing is ever a hand out. BWM teaches the communities they work with to embrace hard work and to understand their potential and ability to rise above poverty.
