Three Years Later...

The New Maji

Maji is going through a few minor changes. We will no longer be able to sell t-shirts. As the three of us move to three different parts of the world, we will not be able to continue selling shirts. Please know the Maji is the same company. Instead of selling a product to raise funds for charity:water, we simply ask people to donate to the cause. We will continue to raise awareness of this crisis. So please, continue wearing your shirts. Tell people what they are for. If you don't have one, you can still tell people about the situation and bring them to our website which will tell them how they can help! Thank you all so much for your support! We hope that together, we can continue to provide water to those without it.

I Am Second

If you haven't already heard of I Am Second, then go to their website and check it out. They post many videos about people's testimonies and struggles. It is a pretty cool deal. This video is Blake Mankin's story of why he started an organization to provide water to people who do not have any. Check it out!

Also, big changes for Maji soon. Keep posted for an update.

Wells in Ethiopia

A couple months ago, users of Twitter put on an event to raise funds and awareness for Charity:water. This event was called Twestival. One quarter million dollars was raised to build water wells in Ethiopia.
This past weekend, Charity:water put their money to action to build wells. Over the four days they spent there, they posted one video per day. You can view those videos below. To find out more about the event and the drilling, click here.

Trip to Rwanda

I recently had a great opportunity to travel to Kigali, Rwanda with a group called Kanakuk. I got to witness the global water problem in real life. In America, we simply see pictures of people drinking dirty water, or carrying yellow jerry cans 6 miles to a pond with dirty water or well if they are lucky. On this trip, this global problem came to life. The very first time we drove somewhere with our big buses that had "We are American" written all over it, we were amazed with the amount of people walking with their jerry cans in search for water. We saw people filling their jugs up from very dirty ponds right beside the rode. We also saw people filling their jugs up from a well in their community. It was a very eye-opening experience. Here are a few shots I took from the trip.






Here is a video I made to summarize the whole trip to Rwanda.
