1,000 TEXTS FOR 1,000 STUDENTS


Charity:water has provided us an extraordinary window to launch our Schools for Water campaign.

Over the next 24 hours, we have the opportunity to raise money through our phones.

Here's our goal:

1,000 TEXTS FOR 1,000 STUDENTS.

Simply text "Well" to 85944 and donate $5 to our School for Water campaign.

Tell your friends and family (via facebook, myspace, blogs, text messages) that a

$5 donation will provide clean water for 1 African student for 5 years.

Believe it or not: our small contribution can help provide big changes for these students.



Specifically, our simple donation will provide girls age 12 & older the opportunity

to stay in school from the 8th grade to graduation.

No longer will these girls have to leave the classroom to walk 3 hours to carry

50 pound Jerry cans of clean water back to their family.

Instead these girls will get to write, calculate, create, observe, formulate, and absorb new knowledge that will equip and empower them to become self-sufficient citizens, capable of economic flourishing.

So text and donate!

Then text others and tell them to text and donate and text others to donate.

1,000 TEXTS FOR 1,000 STUDENTS!

We can do it.
