On the morning of August 19, I woke up with a thought in my head. A thought to help someone—anyone, out there. The perfect opportunity came when I came across charity:water, a non-profit organisation that brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. All it needs is for September babies to give up their birthdays and ask for donations instead of gifts.

So help me, my friends! USD$200 may not be a significant amount in this large-scaled project by charity:water, or for anyone, but this might be deemed as one of my greatest feats in time of my existence. The next 91 days will not be easy (project ends 18th November), knowing that I can only embark on this little ‘philanthropic’ project as a lone individual. Nonetheless, along with faith in mankind (and my Facebook friends), I will work hard for the attainment of this little goal.
With $200, I can give water to:
10 people
or
2 families.
For interested givers, please visit my page at http://mycharitywater.org/jayinas22nd to donate. Any amount will do, and please bear in mind that 100% of your donation will bring clean water to the people in Central African Republic.
