Probably the largest area of need that still deserves more attention and MORE FUNDING in our federal budget is the area of basic sanitation for the world's poorest regions. It is important to mention that March 22 is World Water Day as established by the U.N. I hope that people will be so moved by your post here and especially by the pictures of these beautiful children with their happy faces while partaking of clean water will motivate all of us to redouble our efforts to do all that we can to make that dream of clean water a reality for the world's children and their families. LOVE AND PEACE. HOPE AND JOY. MERCY AND GRACE. ALWAYS LOVE, ONLY LOVE, ONE LOVE - debbie :) Thanks Andrew for drawing to our attention here in the ONE blog the ESSENTIAL role that clean water sources have for basic child survival & for longterm economic development around the world.
