Every morning, we wake up, expecting to see pure water pour from our stainless steel faucets, while halfway around the world, children, as young as 9 years old, have to walk for hours just to bring home dirty, germ-infested water to drink as necessity.
What's wrong with this picture?
Last week, which seems centuries ago, Harker was blessed by the visit of a man, a man who changed how I see everything today. Scott Harrison started off small, a novel photographer in the making, but with big aspirations and a magnanimous heart, he instigated his own kind of butterfly effect, touching the lives of people, young and old. What Harrison is doing and has been doing to this day hit a chord within me: those little kids, who should be in elementary school like I had been, are instead forced to settle for the mediocre just to live.
So, I tried to do a little something with the purchasing of the charity water band (thanks April haha). What I'm trying to say is that in order to change something, it's not about the extravagant, philanthropic gestures that you make, but the thought and the heart behind it all. With each dollar, a well can be built, a well that can provide clean water for a whole village. Every little step counts, even if it's just 5 dollars.
I mean, who knows? You could change lives, even if it's just one.
