2 million people die every year because they don’t have clean water.

I haven’t seen Real Live Preacher this excited in awhile, he’s taking a course with a none profit named Edge that uses a simple system to provide clean water. So simple even Real Live Preacher can do it.:^) 

He isn’t just learning how to put this sucker together, he is learning cultural sensitivity and cultural practicality. And just like Harry and his school,  things can happen when people see a need and get together with others who know how to meet it.

Putting all the equipment and technology aside, I must say that it’s pretty energizing to be around so many people who are passionate about the idea of going out into the world and helping others. And I mean helping them in a way that makes a huge impact in their lives almost immediately. Clean water is such a basic, human need. And if you don’t have it, you suffer immediate and terrible consequences. As always, children in poor nations suffer the most and the worst.

These are good people. They give me hope, and just being around them is tonic for my own soul.

Yeah.
Go, Gordon go!
