Charity:Water

Posted in Spirituality and such... on November 3, 2008 by burkely

Many of us in the US take having clean drinking water for granted.

However, 1 in 6 people on the planet do not have access to safe, clean drinking water.

That’s 1.1 billion people.

Charitywater.org is a non-profit organization that uses 100% of all donations to provide clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

Nathan Taylor Evans

Nathan is about 3 1/2 months old now.  He is named Nathan in honor of Nate Saint, a Christian missionary to Ecuador, who was martyred in 1956 while spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a savage group of natives called Aucas.

Nathan is not at all what I expected from a newborn…he rarely cries or complains and is so alert and happy, particularly first thing in the morning.

He has already gone through tons of clothes that friends gave to us.

Nathan’s Aunt Holly made this quilt for him.  Every member of the family drew something on a square and she put it together.

Thanks Aunt Holly!
