//The Gift Of Water:// // USA Today, December 23, 2011 // //Giving people in December, that take money out of their own pocket, will send millions of dollars going to villages in Africa, South Asia and Central America. And each dollar given,lives are changed. Countless children are effected by contaminated germs by doing work for water. Countless women are spared for hours getting water into 40-pound, 5-gallon jugs. Water is needed for nearly 900 million people to help with health,social life and economic development, in a way that it can race for immediate attention with hunger, malaria, HIV/AIDS and refugee aid.// //December is harsh to charity fundraising tasks. More than one charity report that this month counts for 20% to 30% of their yearly investment from several donors.Without big foundations of interest people won't be able to send the money. This new water foundation gives water to many women, children and men in Africa. That is way less backbreaking hours of work fetching water out of contaminated rivers and lakes. (Grossman)//
