Go forth and set the world on fire.

For Christmas Hermano made a donation in my name to charity: water!

Access to clean water is so important and such a relevant issue! In India met girls who weren’t going to school because they spent their day walking to wells to get water for their families. I met women who gracefully pumped water (not easy) from a well that they walked 4 km to get to. Each of the containers in the picture below holds 10 liters of water! Think about how much energy it takes you to turn on a faucet and instantly get limitless clean drinking water.

100% of the money donated to charity:water goes to water projects (building wells for drinking water and sanitation facilities) and these projects are run by the people from those countries.

Making donations to charities is an awesome idea for gift giving! If you’re hesitant about donating to charities (as you should be), you can check out Charity Navigator, which offers a lot of transparency for where your donations go for specific charities.
