My End-of-Year Blessing

  I've shared a few times that I like to make a donation to World Vision each year. Some of you sponsored me when I did a 20-mile hike to raise money for them in May of 2020.

This year, I donated to the fund that adds an extra layer to the effort to bring clean water to villages, and through solar or generator power actually pipes the water closer to the communities and makes it available through a spigot.

This is from their website: "One tap from a mechanized water system reliably delivers clean water to an average of 85 people! Your gift helps to drill for water, install a pump, provide generator or solar power, lay a piping network, and finally, provide a tap where families can get sparkling clean water close to home. You’ll help kids and families stay protected from disease by ensuring they have clean water for drinking, handwashing, cooking, watering crops, and more."

I don't tell you about this to toot my own horn. I'm sure almost all of us have causes we like to support. I do think this is a good one. World Vision gets very high ratings as to how much of the money donated actually ends up helping people as they claim.

I like to shop the Gift Catalog.

One of the items on my "Quality Day" list (see What Is My Quality Day?" is to do a service. This is one of these events.

I didn't accomplish much today. Maybe tomorrow I'll kick it back into gear.
