Amazing Charitable Project



Here's a story about England that will warm your heart...
A couple of months ago a friend of mine told me about this project he'd heard about in Africa. The goal was to bring water to African villages. The solution was to build children's merry-go-rounds which doubled as water pumps. I may have mentioned it to some of you.

I was drinking a bottle of water I got from a gas station a couple of days ago and happened to read the label. The product is called 'One.' And to quote the label:

"A Message In A Bottle:
We think One will leave a better taste in your mouth than other waters. Drink it and you won't go thirsty. Simple. So is what we do. All our profits go to building unique roundabout powered wells in Africa. As kids spin on the roundabouts water is pumped out of the ground, providing free, clean water to people who desperately need it. Love it!"

Check out the links. The first tells about the guys who came up with the idea to make money for charity by selling water. The second tells about the pump itself and has a cool video telling about the pump and showing one in action.
