Today March 22 is officially World Water Day.
There are many sites to visit to open your awareness of the status of clean water in the world. But I can tell you first hand we are the richest country in the world even though we aren’t seeing our selves as such right now.
We have water, we have water, we have lots and lots of water.

So? You say. No big deal you say. Until you live without it.
Wash you hands in ice cold water; the rush you feel is one of deep resentment because you have been made uncomfortable by the inconsiderate lack of warm water. And you deserve what you have always had, warm water!
Now go the sink and get no water, not cold, not hot, not even murky. NADA, nothing, zilch. What level of resentment will you be dealing with then? And you know what?  There’s no water tomorrow either. Or the day after that. Or the day after that.
Don’t want to go there do you?
Me, either.

Well I don’t have that problem, you say.  No thank God, you do not. But others do, others just as worthy of a water supply as you are, as we are, as I am. It’s water! For Goodness’s sake. Why don’t we all have water!

We have the opportunity to give that gift, that right of water to others; easily, to the whole world. If we, as a nation of individuals, pooled our resources for just one day we could bring water equity to the planet.

This has been the goal of the United Nations since 2005 when then clean water initiative was undertaken. Clean water everywhere by 2015.

We are far behind, but we don’t need to be.
Give the gift of water today! Go to the UN World Water Day site or donate here at Wells of Love and Hope.
If you can’t pour someone a glass of water then send them a buck so they can pour their own. Send more if you are so guided, but do something. It’s water for Goodness’s sake!

Responsibility is the ability to respond.
Thank you,
Irene
