On My Heart

We are starting to think about a birthday party for sweet little almost 2 year old. So naturally we thought about the splash park (one of her favorite hang outs these days.) But while thinking about it for some reason the contrast of her beautiful life was somehow connected in my mind with little girls all around the world that don't have the same opportunities. It wasn't hard for me to quickly look through the pictures on our computer and find the one below of her playing in the crystal clear water at our local splash park. It unfortunately also wasn't hard for me to find the next picture either. The cup in that little girl's hand isn't for playing, it is for her drinking water. It breaks my heart to think that 1 in 8 kids around the world don't have access to clean drinking water. And out of those, 4500 will die today because of a water related disease.

So there spawned my idea. What if at her party we could raise money and awareness for these little girls. What if we could all bring a little and in turn make a huge impact. For $20 we can provide a child with clean water for 20 years through charitywater.org. The picture below could be replayed every day for the next 20 years because of our generosity.
