Dear Jonah, Today is the last day of your sixth year. Tomorrow we will celebrate your birthday and your beautiful life. I know all you are thinking about is your party, the presents, the ice cream, and your favorite taco birthday dinner…but I’m thinking about that amazing day, seven years ago, when I met one of the ultimate loves of my life (you).

Just turning on a faucet brings clean water into our homes. We drink it, bathe in it, cook with it, and clean with it. But, “783 million people in the world do not have access to safe water”. (WHO/UNICEF) Consider walking miles to gather water, some of it so dirty and filled with parasites that it can kill. (via Safe Water is Lacking #WorldWaterDay - BrainFoggles)

Today is World Water Day and it has been given this distinction so that for at least one day the world might consider just how many of its inhabitants do not have clean water at their disposal. The stats are actually pretty shocking and for those of us who have the luxury of simply walking a few feet to the nearest faucet and running as much water as we like, it needs to be a wake up call. For world water day I want to highlight three organizations doing something to address this global crisis and they are doing a wonderful job via social media to reach those of us who don’t actually realize just how much we should care about this issue. 10,000 people are dying each day (2000 of those are children) because they don’t have clean water and here in the west we like to wax poetic about not letting it run while we brush our teeth.
