mycharity: water – Helping Birthdays Really Matter.

Today is our wonderful photographer friend's, Esther Havens, birthday. And in honor of her birthday, she "gave it up." mycharity: water (brought to you by the great folks at charity: water) has created a way to make birthdays really matter. Instead of people going out and buying you a trinket, you can "give up" your birthday to help bring someone clean water. It's a pretty cool deal. You create a profile on mycharitywater.org and people can donate whatever amount they wish to making a perfect stranger's life better. So far Esther has had 50 people donate (including Project 7), raised $2,387 and helped 119 people. The funds are going straight to bringing clean water to people in Central African Republic, not bad for someone turning 27! September is a special month for charity: water. It is their biggest month and they have a special campaign underway. Take a look at the video. It's amazing. Donate to the campaign, give up your birthday, make a real difference. September is here. from charity: water on Vimeo. So, think about all of the friends you have with birthdays coming up. Urge them to "give it up" and do some real good on their special day - believe me, there isn't anything more special than that!
