I know there was a young woman from our church who went with a group from her college and dug wells in Kenya, but I don't remember the name of the group. But I can see where good, safe water could be an excellent inroad to these communities.Huskerbabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01169124897295455177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235967534589957755.post-83868014469771348682010-03-23T16:02:35.445-04:002010-03-23T16:02:35.445-04:00A dear friend was a missionary in Ethopia, digging...A dear friend was a missionary in Ethopia, digging wells as his reason for getting to know the people. <br /><br />Christie<br /> <br />ropp(dot)5@wright(dot)eduAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235967534589957755.post-30193105327393405202010-03-23T15:12:43.309-04:002010-03-23T15:12:43.309-04:00When our compassion child was younger we made a fi...When our compassion child was younger we made a financial gift to his village to help dig a new well.

I also LOVE the idea of this product. My kids are not big "plain" water drinkers despite my best efforts (fun sized ice cubes, lemon wedges, strawberries in water, etc.) so perhaps this product is just the start we need. I'm signing up for the samples next!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933444348029061497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235967534589957755.post-45719588218448669642010-03-23T02:24:43.813-04:002010-03-23T02:24:43.813-04:00I support food for the hungry and I know they supp...I support food for the hungry and I know they supply clean water to people in need.

Our home church now takes annual trips to GU to install stoves and filters and share the love of the Lord. The water filter is easily set up in a home and changes the life of a family - infections alone take a huge nosedive once clean water is available, as we well know, being privileged to live in the US.<br /><br />That being said, I had no idea there was an official World Water Day.

It is true that people in many parts of the world have a need for fresh, clean water -- they also have an even greater need for the Living Water that quenches their eternal thirst. The only organization I am aware of that meets these needs is Samaritan's Purse.<br /><br />http://www.samaritanspurse.org/ <br /><br />I think this is a great giveaway and I would LOVE to win the True Lemon!
