I’m taking a temporary break from my cynicism to embrace the holiday spirit. My tree is up and decorated. Hereabouts, the weather has turned to winter. The conditions are such that I’m almost to the place (not quite) where I enjoy Christmas music.
My Christmas wishes are traditional, sentimental. Not meant to offend. In fact, I’m in more of a Thanksgiving mode. Me, I have a lot to be thankful for. Many, I’m sure, feel likewise.
For those who are unaware, I’d like to introduce Water for People, my favorite charity. The following is taken from their website. Check it out. If you have not contributed, please consider doing so.
“Water for People assists people in developing countries to improve quality of life by supporting the development of locally sustainable drinking water resources, sanitation facilities and hygiene education programs.
Around the world, 884 million people do not have access to safe drinking water and 2.5 billion are without adequate sanitation facilities. Every day, nearly 6,000 people who share our planet die from water-related illnesses, and the vast majority are children.
Our vision is a world where all people have access to safe drinking water and sanitation; a world where no one suffers or dies from a water- or sanitation-related disease.”
Merry Christmas and thanks for reading.
