A crash course in changing the world.

Water Crisis is also one of the major problem on earth right now. More than 3.4 million people die each year from water, sanitation, and hygiene-related causes. Nearly all deaths, 99 percent, occur in the developing world.

But almost a billion people do not have access to safe drinking water, and 2.5 billion live without sanitation.

Lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills children at a rate equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing every four hours.

-Every 20 seconds, a child dies from a water-related illness. 

-Women spend 200 million hours a day collecting water.

-More than 3 times more people lack water than live in the United States.

 

The biggest problem we should concern about:

Look!

-An American taking a five-minute shower uses more water than the average person in a developing country slum uses for an entire day.

-Consider this fact: in Mozambique, the average person uses less than 10 litres of water per day, while an American uses approximately 575 litres a day.

Recently I just watched a Korean Doc**entary called the "Rode for Hope". Korean Actress, Actor, Doctor, Famous people, Legendary, Idols will participate and help people around the world who are facing crisis and are lacking of food, water, shelters, education, job and proper safe care. This program have brought a big impact to Korea and the world. They travel and help the undeveloped countries and communities. They don't only help by giving the people what they need. They comfort families and children who lost their families when they were young. They also built a Health Center in different cities in the country so the community there would not be so worry when suddenly one of their family is sick. They don't have to worry about the money they need for them to go to the hospital (transportation) and paying the bills for the treatment and medicine.

This program do not only built Health Centers, but they also build schools for children so that they can study to reach their dreams and to have a brighter future. 

There was this part of the movie that shows the "Water Tank Processor". I'm not sure what the thing is actually called. But the function of that water tank is to process dirty water that is either stored under the ground or collected. The actual process: Children will be turning around the "Wheel" and as they turn, the water underground will rise up to the tank. The water will be stored inside the tank and the tank will cleanse the water. Clean water are then produced, communities can use the water when ever they want by just pumping the water.

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
