Some of you might remember that in 2013,
I donated my 30th birthday for mycharity:water to help fund a project that would bring clean water to a village somewhere on the planet that really needed it.
I posted on my blog about it (and at other social media like here at lj) and with all of your help, we went past my goal! $210 was raised for my $200 goal.
mycharity:water has been keeping me up to date as time passed and I've been telling all of you what they say. I just got an email saying the project is complete!
Read about it at the
Daduwa Community in Nepal project page! You'll find a bunch of pictures of people using the different gravity-fed taps that were built to bring clean water to the community, as well as a google map pinpointing the location.
Thanks to all of your help, 144 people now have access to clean water.
Thank you so much to anyone who donated to my fundraising campaign! I will likely do more in the future. And if you want to contribute to mycharity: water, they are an awesome campaign. 100% of donated funds go straight to these projects, and they do a fantastic job of keeping you up to date as the project progresses.
If you don't have money to donate but still want to help, consider
donating your birthday.
