Experts tell us water will be the "new oil." Las Vegas, running out of water, is already paying residents to replant their lawns with desert plants to save water. It's getting really scary here; it's been scary in many other countries for a long time. In some of those countries, the situation is desperate. Killer dysentery is rampant; babies die, children die, parents die. And it's not so hard to help.
Today I received an email from Ramya Raghavan, from "CitizenTube", announcing some new tools to help deliver video messages for nonprofits. Here's the example she sent along - it raised $10,000 in one day. "That's enough to build two brand-new wells in the Central African Republic and give over 150 people clean drinking water for 20 years!"
Ramya urges others to take a look; you can make it work for your nonprofit too. Here's the link. Some days I really love the Internet. This is one.
