Just imagine carrying a bucket this size on your head with water in it. Fill up a bucket and try to lift it. Kids carry water from dirty shallow hand dug wells all the time, like this. But just imagine it making you sick after you drink it. For 1.1 billion in the world, this is life. But a Bio-Sand Filter changes everything for kids like this. Instead of the water they've worked so hard to get making them sick it actually hydrates and refreshes them! $5 makes a world of difference!
This bad boy got really close to our jeep and he was kinda angry, it was fun! So beautiful!

These are the working hands of a Bio-Sand Filter Technician! We are providing clean water and income to people that are in desperate need.
I never dreamed I'd be this close to a lion, without a cage in between us. I only had my 70-200 with me, as the converter didn't work. This gives you an idea of how close I was!

I miss everyone on the trip so much. We had such an amazing time!
When I opened it up for sharing at the end of the trip, there was barely a dry eye. You just don't realize what a difference $5 can make for someone until you see how people live in such poverty and then you see the filter in their homes and you hear their story of how it's transformed their lives, health and restored hope, productivity, joy and more!

Thank you to everyone who helps to make it possible!

I'll continue to post images from the trip, I just can't publish the gown images until Grace Ormonde Wedding Style features them. Also, we are gonna have a big shin ding at WPPI this year!
