We use water for hydration, cleaning and nutrition. Daily we use hundreds of litres of water for cleaning hands, taking showers, cooking food, rinsing dishes, etc. Water is everywhere. In everything we eat and drink.<br />We take for granted the abundant, immediate and almost infinite availability of WATER. We trust that is clean and safe and use plenty of it. However, in other parts of the world the reality is very different.<br /><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>A billion people on the planet don&rsquo;t have any access to clean drinking water</strong></span>.</span> Dirty water is killing more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. Children are especially vulnerable, as their bodies aren't strong enough to fight diarrhea, dysentery and other illnesses.<br /><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #006400;"><span style="color: #000000; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong></strong></span></span></span></strong><strong><span style="color: #006400;"><span style="color: #000000; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Mar&iacute;a V. in USA, Erick in Germany and Rafael A in M&eacute;rida</strong></span> are organizing events to support this cause, building our first water well in Africa. </span></span></strong><strong><span style="color: #006400;"><span style="color: #000000; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong></strong></span></span></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #006400;"><span style="color: #000000; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Pablo and his friends in Netherlands </strong></span></span></span></strong><span style="color: #006400;"><span style="color: #000000; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">are organizing parties and giving up their birthday presents for fundraising a water well in Africa.&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p><strong></strong><strong><span style="color: #006400;">In September</span></strong><em><strong><span style="color: #008000;">, Germ&aacute;n cycled from London to Land's End, the most western part of the UK in a 310 miles journey</span></strong> </em>to raise funds for building water wells in Africa.</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">100% of your donation will go directly to a water project:</span></strong> <span style="color: #0000ff;">&pound;1,300</span> will build a freshwater well in a village and provide up to <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>250 people</strong></span> with clean drinking water.

Usamos el agua para hidratacion, limpieza y nutrici&oacute;n. Diariamente usamos cientos de litros de agua para lavarnos las manos, tomar duchas, cocinar, lavar platos, etc. El agua est&aacute; en todas partes, en todo lo que comemos y bebemos. Damos por sentado la abundante, inmediata y casi infinita disponibilidad del <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">AGUA</span></strong>. Sin embargo, en otras partes del mundo la realidad es muy diferente.<strong></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Un billon de personas en el planeta no tienen ning&uacute;n acceso a agua limpia y potable.</span></strong> El agua sucia mata a mas personas en el mundo que todas las formas de violencia, incluyendo la guerra. Los ni&ntilde;os son las m&aacute;s vulnerables, ya que sus cuerpos no son lo suficientemente fuertes para combatir la diarrea, disenter&iacute;a y otras enfermedades.<strong></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Pablo y sus amigos en Holanda han organizado fiestas y donado sus regalos para la recaudacion de fondos.</span></strong> Maria V. en Estado Unidos y otras personas est&aacute;n apoyando activamente esta causa, para lograr la contrucci&oacute;n de un pozo de agua en Africa.</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">En septiembre de 2010, Germ&aacute;n recorri&oacute; 500 Kms en bicicleta desde Londres a Land's End (ver video)</span></strong>, la parte mas oeste de Gran Breta&ntilde;a, para recolectar fondos para la construcci&oacute;n del pozo.<strong></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">100% de tu donaciones van directamente para la construcci&oacute;n del pozo de agua</span></strong>, $2000 construir&aacute;n agua potable en una comunidad, y proveer&aacute; a mas de 250 personas con agua potable por 20 a&ntilde;os.
