$2,008.95

Our new grand total is $2,008.95. We still have $591.05 to go. Thank you all for your prayers and cans.

Mr. Kirsh and Us

Mr. Kirsh has given us twenty years' worth of cans. I can't believe he had them all sitting in his garage. It took us three trips just to get them all and take them to the recycling center. Even the recycling center workers were amazed at how many cans we brought in. We raised $1170 from his cans alone, bringing our total well over $1500.
Many thanks to Mr. Kirsh.

4th of July Pictures

Here are some late pictures of our 4th of July booth!

A lot of cans!

Hey everyone,

Haven't had time to post in a while, but Christy and I have recently visited a generous doner and have collected $301 from the cans received.

We are really excited about this and hope to go back soon and collect the rest of the cans!

Helping Solve This Need

Imagine walking barefoot on a dusty hot road or over hills under the grueling heat of the sun for sometimes eight hours lugging a 20-liter container of muddy water riddled with disease. Sometimes you will walk in isolated, crime-ridden areas. Once the water container is filled it can weigh as much as 44 pounds. If the water starts out clean it becomes dirty before returning home.

This water has been used for watering animals, bathing, swimming, and a bathroom. When you finally lug it home there is no guarantee you will not get dysentery, diarrhea, cholera, polio, giardia, or bacillary. As a girl of thirteen this would usually be your responsibility and you would have no choice. In developing countries it is common for women and girls to have to walk several kilometers every day to fetch water.

According to Worldometers, an organization that provides world statistics in real time, an estimated 1 billion, 352 million, 565 thousand, 500 hundred (and the number increases every second) do not have accesses to safe drinking water. Furthermore about 1 million, 581 thousand, 697 people have died from water related diseases this year. According to NSF Consumer Information, the average total home water use for each person in the U.S. is about 50 gallons per day.

Last fall we decided to raise the money for a cause. We chose to purchase a water filter from Samaritan’s Purse. This filter cost 100 dollars and provides clean water for one family. Of all the needs in the world, there is not one so critical and one so simple to solve as a shortage of clean water. This isn’t a problem that can be fixed all at once but over time there is the great possibility of making huge difference. A relatively small bit of resources can make a significant impact.

We raised the money to buy this filter by collecting recyclable bottles and cans. We were able, with your participation, to raise this amount in 7 weeks. This filter is a blessing to a family in a third-world country—right now. According to the World Life Expectancy Map, Africa has the lowest life expectancy rate of all the continents: 32-41 years. Why? Because the people die from illnesses caused by poor water quality. We would like to raise awareness for this issue and give water to people who are suffering.

Our aim is to raise 2,600 dollars for a well which will amply serve 150 people and generate 600 gallons of water a day. We are planning to use many different kinds of fundraising, but we are starting with a bottle drive.

You can give us your empty glass bottles and cans—the ones with “CA Cash Refund” or “5” or “10 cent refund” labels on them. With your support and prayer, we hope to achieve this goal and help provide clean water to more people.

Sincerely,

Allison Pyle and Christy Moore
