A friend of mine has been working hard to develop this awesome volunteer-based organization called WELL DONE (www.welldone.org). WELL DONE is committed to building wells for villages in rural Ghana, where clean water is scarce. We hope that as WELL DONE raises awareness for water issues around the world, more Americans will focus on how we use the resources that we have. Awareness of environmental and health issues increases the sustainability of our society and creates a brighter future.
We have decided to use our ride to raise $3,000 for WELL DONE. How are we going to do this? We will be speaking with people along the route and handing out WELL DONE information at various locations. We'll keep you posted on where these will be.
Troy and I are very pleased to incorporate this water resource issue into our ride for health and environmental awareness. If more individuals recognize the issues people face both locally and globally, we can help each other pave the way for a healthy and sustainable world of tomorrow. Maybe, the families we make in the next decade will not have to worry about having a pre-mature heart attack or having to take insulin shots several times a day. Perhaps, they won't have to live in a world that is becoming increasingly devoid of the natural phenomenon that make it both beautiful and inhabitable. Maybe, they'll live in a society that refuses to have their food choices made for them by marketing departments; a society whose individual parts unite in maintaining the planet on which we all breathe and survive. I hope this is the destiny that unfolds for future generations. We each have the choice to educate ourselves and be the sole responsible party in charge of our health and our world. Eduvolve yourself :D.
Peace,
Cynthia
