A Child's Right

For those of us who walk up to the faucet or fridge door for a cool clean glass of ice water as the whim strikes, we are in the minority worldwide. Clean drinking water is a dream, not a commodity, in much of the world today. An organization called A Child's Right (headquartered in Tacoma, Washington) is an organization dedicated to bringing vital water filtration systems to the areas of the world that need it the most. They recently completed a project that assisted thousands of children in the hardest hit areas of China. Please click here to visit their website to learn more about their cause, but also to view hundreds of pictures from their time in Child Welfare Institutes (orphanages) in China. If you've ever wanted to see the inside of an orphanage, here is your chance.

When it comes time to make your annual charitable contributions (or the next time you have a nice cold glass of water) consider this cause.
