There are 1.2 billion people in this world without access to clean drinking water.

Look at that number again. 1.2 BILLION. Here are a few other statistics:

*25,000 people lose their lives to water-related illnesses everyday.
*Preventable water-related illnesses kills 1 child every 15 seconds.
*Women and children walk 2 hours EACH WAY everyday to get clean water. This keeps them from getting an education or holding a job.

This is a problem. What is the solution?

Clean water wells. And we can help build them.

The Christian Campus House is offering three ways to help.

1) Join us in doing "The Project."
Did you know that the United States spends $50 billion per year on soft drinks?

For 2 weeks, we will stop drinking soft drinks and all other beverages except for water. No coffee, tea, soda, juice, milk or anything else. And the money we WOULD have spent on those things, we are giving to The Project.

We are sacrificing some of our finer things to share with those who have less.

2) Give $1.
From Monday, November 9th through Friday, November 13th, we will be sitting on toilets outside of the Food Court in the Union. (Don't worry...we won't be USING the toilets!) We simply want to raise funds and awareness to the problem.

$1 will give 1 person clean water for 1 year. And so we are going to simply be asking for everyone to donate $1. Everybody has an extra buck on them. And by giving that $1, you are giving one person clean water for an entire year.

And if you share your $1, we will give you a sticker with a toilet on it.

What's up with the toilets? Well, they are simply a tool to draw attention to the problem. We are willing to bet that each of us has gone to the bathroom today. And if we have, than we have peed into cleaner water than 1.1 billion people have had to drink today. We think this is wrong. And we want to be a part of the solution.

100% of the money raised will go to clean-water projects in Haiti.

3) Raise awareness.
If you are reading this, then you are in the perfect place to help us raise awareness. During the entire Project, we are encouraging you to make the toilet picture of this group as your profile picture. Also, we are asking you to change your status bar to: "wants you to know there are 1.2 billion people in the world with no access to clean drinking water. To help, go here: http://tinyurl.com/yf28pje" We want to drive people to this event page so they can learn of the problem.

And together, all of us can be a part of the solution.
