LUSH stores are now carrying Clean Water For Haiti Charity Pots

Hello Friends!

LUSH is a really cool store that makes natural soaps, lotions, and all the beauty and pampering products that you can possibly think of. They have a really cool lotion brand called Charity Pot, which supports causes around the world. LUSH has committed to supporting Clean Water For Haiti!!! So when you go into a LUSH store in North America today, you can ask for the Clean Water For Haiti Charity Pot and 100% of the proceeds go to the charity. How exciting is that???!!! It's so awesome. Well, I'm stoked about it. Hope you are to.

Best,
Isabel
this one's for you Scottie!

World Water Day in Vancouver

It's hard to believe a year has gone by since the last World Water Day. This year, I'm partnered up with sowhatdoyouthink.com to bring awareness to World Water Day. Most people still don't know this day exists. We asked people to take the challenge of carrying a 20 litre container full of water. Talk about heavy. Reactions ranged from "If I had to do this everyday, I'd die" to "I think I sprained my arm". The reality is, I live in a place where clean drinking water is available from a tap, actually several taps, in my home. I can't imagine having to walk 6 km everyday to fetch water that may not even be safe for me to drink and having to drink it anyway because I have no choice. Water is vital and we all need it. Water is everyone's right and it ought to be available for every single human being in this world. Sadly, it seems to be more of a privilege today. One in 8 children in Haiti will not live to even age 5 because of the lack of clean water. Every 20 seconds there is a child dying somewhere in the world because of water issues. I'm so grateful for what I have today. Thank you Lord. If you'd like to donate: http://www.cleanwaterforhaiti.org/Design/HTML/donate.html

Earthquake in Haiti - January 12, 2010

Depending where you were in Haiti the earthquake was either 5.0 or 7.0. The country is in a catastrophe. Buildings have been destroyed, lives lost, and blood shed. I'm afraid for the countries well being. I have checked in with Clean Water For Haiti Directors, Chris and Leslie Rollings. Leslie updated her blog today and I am happy to report that she and her family are doing fine. You can read her story at http://rollingsinhaiti.wordpress.com.

Please pray that this set back for the country will be a time for people to come together in peace and restore the nation as it is long overdue and this country has suffered far too much.
