Banky For President

When is the last time you walked more than few feet for something to drink, especially a glass of water. Today 1.1 Billion people (1 in 6 people) get their water from polluted sources, like a swamp or a pond.

Would you drink that water?

If you ignore the political implications surrounding where you were born, assuming you were born in North America or Europe . . . you lucked out. Even if you’re homeless and you’re reading this blog in a library, you have access to a clean restroom and toilet.

If you happen to be one of the six who deal with disgusting bacteria by simply drinking your sustenance for life, you’re doing so largely because you drew the short straw with regard to where you were born.

Charity: Water is working to change that. They are building wells and providing safe clean water in areas where its needed most. This Thursday you can help. Twestival is raising money and awareness in cities all over the world. One of our local Kansas Citians, Ramsey Mohsen, created a video illustrating exactly what its all about. Take 2 minutes and watch:

So for 25 dollars, you can help ensure someone gets clean water for 20 years, all while drinking and hanging out with Friends, and listening to live music.

I’m asking you to register for Twestival today.

This Thursday from 6-9pm at the Tower Tavern
