Blood:Water Mission

In case you don't know.

Blood Water Mission is the 1000 Wells Mission started by Jars of Clay. They are in Africa doing work to raise money and help build fresh water wells to provide African Villages clean water.

Many of the natives living in these villages will spend all day making trips to gather water. Most of the time they are only able to make two trips a day and still get back home very later in the evening. Did I mention those two trips are to gather dirty water from the swamp or river? I'm sure all of you know that Africa has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS in the world, and the dirty water they drink carries germs and bacteria that only makes it worse and causes death. Clean water can and will help countless numbers of African people survive and live better. Just by donating $1 you can provide clean water for one person for a year.

You can donate here... www. bloodwatermission. com

Also, Miguel and I are playing an acoustic show at VINO 100 here in Houston on March 18th to raise money for the cause. The show is 21+ considering it's a wine bar so those of you who can make it out please come join us and have a nice glass of wine.

Hope to see you then!
