And now 250 people in Mitslam Village in the Tigray region of Ethiopia have clean water in their own community to drink from a shallow bore hole well. They no longer have to walk two hours to fetch dirty water that makes them sick. This well was made possible through the work of Charity:Water and their local field partner A Glimmer of Hope, and the funds were raised, in part, by the campaign I started to celebrate my 50th birthday two years ago. Read more about the well here (the report includes a GPS coordinate link which will show you the exact location of the well). One picture is below, and more pictures can be seen at the report linked to above.

Thank you to EVERYONE who helped contribute, both to honor me and to decrease worldsuck! I am so extremely proud of this legacy, which will make a critical difference for the better in real people's lives for YEARS to come.
