Water Works


I'm not a celebrity.
Nope.
 I'm just an Aspiring Kennedy.

My days of paid endorsements are still far out.

Maybe someday I'll be as cool as Ms. Aniston
and get my mug on a Smart Water campaign.

via
I think I'd be good at talking about water...
because I really like it.

via
In fact, I drink it everyday...
but it's nothing I want to keep exclusive.

via
That's why when I saw this initiative
to build this water well-
I got excited.

These precious students have donated $3800 towards a $5000 goal.

And it made me think:
if students can do that,
what could bloggers like us do?

via
If half of the people that visit Aspiring Kennedy today
250 people will have a water well.

That means those people can drink clean water,
which means they won't get sick as often,
which means their children won't be as prone to childhood death,
... and all that means: their lives will better.

What will $5 mean for me?
1'll have one less cream tea this week.

via
If you are a blogger and donate to this water well,
let me know, I'll give you a month of free advertising.

Because if I can't be a poster child,
I'd be happy to have you be one in my place.

  1. Its so weird you would post this. Just yesterday the BF and I were discussing some christmas charity, and we were talking about another organization that for something like $7 builds a well, which can serve up to 300 people... I am so in on this! Heading over now! I will join you as well.. on my blog!

  2. Super super super awesome idea! :)
    I will be looking at the website right after I comment! Even if one person gave a dollar it would make such a difference!
    I also will probably do a post on this as well! :)

  15. This really moved me. I've just spent the last 20 minutes listening to Scott's presentation in Omaha. My uncle was a surgeon on the USS Sanctuary from Texas - a precursor to the Mercy Ships.

    I think you may be starting a movement. So happy to be a part of it!
