Last Spring, charity: water held an event in New York to show the severity of the global water crisis. The exhibit included a "wishing well" where passersby could toss spare change that would help fund water projects in the impoverished, and now earthquake-ravaged nation of Haiti.
The photo exhibit came down after three months but the wishing well stayed up. Last week, at the charity: water offices, they received a delivery of about 500 pounds of change!
After soaking the grimy, smelly coins in vinegar to clean them, they began counting them up. Yesterday, they deposited the collection in the bank. All that loose change added up to $6,809.09, every penny of which will help provide clean, safe water to those who desperately need it!
It’s just one more example of the small actions of many having a huge impact. Take a small action of your own today on behalf of charity: water or the organization of your choice on SocialVibe!
