I truly appreciate journalists like yourself who spread the message. Awareness really is the most important step in solving this global problem. I served as an AmeriCorps member in Tucson, AZ, where I had the opportunity to lead local youth in service-learning projects to solve community and global issues. One issue that absolutely absorbed me was the global water crisis. I spent months researching the issue, watching videos of children screaming as guinea worms were being pulled inch by inch from their infected legs, watching clips of women walking miles to fetch contaminated water from stagnant ponds, and it absolutely changed my life. We hosted the first ever Tucson World Water Walk to raise money to fund the construction of a well in a Ugandan High School, as well as spread awareness to the Tucson community. I had the benefit of watching the change that my youth volunteers went through as they spent an intensive week watching the videos, reading the articles, and discussing the resources I presented to them. You may not ever see the impact your articles have on people, but know that you have made a difference. Scott Harrison is my absolute hero for his amazing work with Charity Water.
