HYDRATE HOPE
bobby and i had the privilege of going to an event last night @ market street in the woodlands. it was an event put on by a friend of ours that began a project called HYDRATE HOPE.
here's a blurb from their website:
Hydrate Hope is a movement that began out of asking the question, “with so many needs in the world, where can we begin to make a difference”. Our answer…start with the biggest. With water being the #1 killer in the world, our passion is to engage this preventable global atrocity head on.
Over 1.1 Billion people in our world have no access to clean water.
That's basically 1 out of every 6 people on our planet.
More than 2 million people, mostly children, die each year from preventable waterborne illnesses.

it was an amazing contrast...
huge banners and photos of women & children in africa, drinking from filthy mudholes...
meanwhile, surrounded by an enormous, glittery christmas tree with pricey shops, boutiques and restaurants...people strolling by, arms loaded with packages to put under their trees.
