World Water Day

Today is world water day, so I guess I'm supposed to bring attention to the approximately 1 billion folks out there that don't have clean water.

Yup. A billion.

The fact of the matter is, we need to change how our charity systems work.

Think about how many people gave a shit when that Caylee girl got lost. We care more about her than the starving billions in third world country because the media brought so much attention to it.

We submit money and food, water and supplies, and that's where we lose track of it. We don't know which child is getting it, or if any child is getting food at all.

We should film individual kids and show which areas are getting food and water and which ones aren't.

And when they deliver the food and water, they should get the families to shout "Thanks, _____!" while holding up their individual supply packages.

I would be touched if I saw the water bottle I donated in the hands of children that need it. I would feel great. And I don't think I'd be alone.

Giving really does feel good, but it doesn't feel nearly as good if we don't get to see the receiving end. With technology expanding every day, we need to make this happen.
