Mizu Nomihodai gets a Well
Sorry, pushing the next Korea Adventure post to tomorrow because OMG SO MUCH AWESOME THE WORDS. THEY DON’T. I CAN’T EVEN.
Ahem.
About two years ago, I joined charity: water’s first mycharitywater September campaign with “Mizu Nomihodai” (All You Can Drink Water). I fundraised across Iki, going from school to friends to social groups like the Rotary, and ended up raising $2500 in mostly cash donations. charity: water promised that in eighteen months, I’d hear where the fundraising dollars went. We’re coming up on that deadline now, and BOOM BABY, this arrives in my email:
That squee you hear? That's my epic glee coming at you from across the world.
YEAH. YEAH. And you can EVEN SEE PICTURES here. Or check it out on Google Maps! WHAT.
I’m so astonished and grateful to this fantastic charity. Fundraising and donating is such a reward, but this makes me feel connected to the folks in Ethiopia, the folks whose lives are changed. AHHHHH. And now I’m so excited to see what they’ll do with the Crits for Water fundraiser–except we have to wait eighteen more months.
Okay. Enough with the squeeing.
No. I lied. Have a video on my feelings:
Last: how much do I want Will Smith’s pants in that clip? AMAZING.
Wow, Kat. This is just downright AMAZING. I have chills and my stomach is doing little happy flips–HOLY CRAAAAAAAP. The pictures are so cool and YOU HELPED MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
Oh Katastrophe, you’re such an awesome human being. <3
I know! I’m so amazed by charity: water. They really now how to make folks addicted to donating, giving us shiny awesomeness like that.
OMG, girl, congrats!!!! That is truly amazing! You can really look at that and know you DID that. You actually, truly, almost physically helped all those people have such a big, positive and important change in their lives! Ii ne~~~ ^____^ Dang, that is really some kind of wonderful!
I’m excited to see the Crits for Water one too! Even though it was only a few bucks out of the whole, it will be cool to see the fruit of a charity I contributed to. Uki uki waku waku da ne~~
Aw, I think you expressed my feelings better than I did! Thanks, Su
That’s so way fantastic, Kat. Congrats on your efforts and the new about this village. I’m all goose pimply.
Those pants are awesome. Gotta love Fresh Prince. I still know all the lyrics to the opening song on that show.
I LOVE FRESH PRINCE. I should just bite the bullet and buy the whole series. It’d be a great time waster in the winter.
