...for my birthday I'm trying to raise $5K to build a well - please support my well project here:

This year I'm giving up my birthday to raise money to build a well with the charity: water organization.
Instead of personal gifts, I'd rather have my friends give a donation to my cause:
http://mycharitywater.org/karinagrotz
Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to water projects and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete. A billion people in the world are living without clean water and millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.
A year from now I hope to be sending you an update from somewhere in the developing world with photos of our well and stories of how something we take for granted, like clean water, can be so life-altering for the one billion people living without it.
Please help me make this birthday wish come true! (or at least forward this someone else who will!!)
Thank you.
