There couldn't have been a better decision made by Mr. Ban Ki-moon. I have supported several different organizations for many years in their efforts to bring clean water sources to some of the world's poorest regions. For all of the reasons that you stated in your post and more, CLEAN WATER IS ESSENTIALTO END EXTREME POVERTY IN OUR WORLD. So I Iook forward to further posts here in the ONE Blog regarding this issue and toward the fulfillment of the MDG's. Let's all WORK TOGETHER AS ONE to bring sanitation and clean water to the world's poorest people! On this Thanksgiving Day, clean water is definitely something that we should all be grateful for.~ Take very good care of each other. Blessings - not just for those who kneel. ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE - debbie :) Thank you very much, Virginia, for posting this info about 2008 being declared the “Year of Sanitation” by the UN.
