Just One



$1 = ONE YEAR OF WATER FOR AN AFRICAN
YOUR ONE DOLLAR WILL SAVE A LIFE

Did you know many people die in Africa each day because lack of clean water? Did you know YOU can help. It only takes $1 for an African to have clean water for a whole year!

How Can I Help?

There several things you can do:
  1. Donate-Remember each dollar provide one African with a one year supply of clean water. You can also give to the 1000 Wells fund.
  2. Run a Campaign-Church, Collage, Home, School, VBS, Two Weeks of Sacrifice.
  3. Volunteer-At a concert or with HIV vaccine research.
  4. Advocate-For DATA or The One Campaign
Quotes

"It is indeed great that Blood:Water Mission has once again done it for the poor faces they have not seen. These are all fruits of your meekness and love to us. Thank you again. You are deeply rooted in my heart and I lack words to express our gratitude. I'll be visiting the two groups over the weekend to pass the message to them about their new wells."


"Since the introduction of a well into our community, our stomach problems have completely disappeared."



"Clean water is a powerful way to begin a large scale conversation about AIDS. The 1000 Wells Project is a simple campaign that has very little controversy surrounding it. It is difficult to argue whether or not a person should have clean water. It is also difficult to deny the equation: $1= clean water for 1 person for 1 year. And it is vital that the church begin to build relationships with African communities. When a well is built, a conversation is started, a relationship between the church and the community benefiting from the project begins. This is the seed of a worldview shift. This is what excites us about this project."

Save a Life, Bite Back!

Thousands die in Africa because of malaria. The sad thing is there is not a cure for it! The only thing to do is to prevent it with a net (which they can not afford.) Click on the picture to bite back! My family did.

7 Reasons to Start Runnung





I just recently started running, and noticed it has improved my life in many ways.

Here is why...

  1. I am a lot more athletic and in shape now than I was before. (That's a given!)
  2. Even though I am not purposely trying to eat better, I am! I just started favoring bananas over chips!
  3. I met a ton of new people.
  4. Running gives me something to look forward to each day.
  5. When I'm having a bad day or can not do anything right, It encourages me to know I can run.
  6. It is a stress reliever!
  7. Last of all, it is FUN!
