Think about....

Think about your worst bathroom day.  What would you have done with out water?  Think about your worst stomach flu day.  What would you have done without water?  Think about the hottest day you can remember.  What would you have done with out water?  (Soft drinks, lemon aid, iced tea all need water.)  Think about the dirtiest day of your life, perspiration, mud, dust, just lots of dirt on your body.  What would do at the end of that day without water. 

Today, tomorrow and many more days with out water in Zambia and the scenarios listed above are a common fact of life.

My quote for today (that is posted in a couple of places because I think it speaks to the heart of giving) is, "Gratitude turns what we have into enough."

 Christmas buying is in full bloom here in the US.  I ask this simple question, to you my reader.  "When do we have enough?"  The next simple question is, "When am I willing to give a gift that cannot be reciprocated?"  The last question, "Will you help to make a well happen in the Western Provence of Zambia this year?" 

Your gift on behalf of a family member, a friend, a co-worker or someone you wish to remember through Hands of Hope's www.handsofhopeonline.org/ will enable those who live each day, with  your worst waterless day to have water.  This gift of water changes their lives forever.

The  giving process is simple, you give up one or two gifts that you don't even need, buy a well card for someone you love, like or need to purchase a gift for and a life is changed forever.  A well gives a village fresh, clean water to clean up the messes of life. 

Now that is a gift!
