A Child's Right

A Child's Right
My friend, Angela, brought this organization to my attention on her blog. http://www.a-childs-right.org/projects.html

"A Child's Right believes that all children, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender or location, should be and can be afforded the most essential of needs to improve their lives and ensure their healthy development.Clean drinking water is the single most important ingredient for healthy children the world over- yet thousands of children die every day due to a lack of potable water. In this day and age, with the support of those in the more prosperous nations, this should no longer be a privilege for some, but should be a basic right of every child.A Child's Right is committed to providing the very best in water purification technologies and clean water systems to desperate children in orphanages, street shelters, children's hospitals and schools in impoverished nations throughout the world."

It is such an amazing thing to realize how we all can take such things for granted while others in the world don't have the opportunity to drink clean water. I think this is a wonderful organization. They have served many orphanages in China. You can look at their slide show on their website. Some of the pictures were just taken in May 07. How eerie to know that one of these orphanages may be where Abby comes from. You know I'll have to go back to this site when we get our referral and check to see if our Abby is in one of those pictures!! Check it out if you have a few minutes. It will tug at your heartstrings.
