Water is Life





I don't donate to charities half as much as I would like to so I will never preach or judge anyone on donating! Last month though, I stumbled across a YouTube page called 'water is life' which is an organisation that provides clean water to the most dehydrated places on our planet. In particular two of their short videos hit me hard! So hard in fact, that it made me write this post.
I will link them at the bottom and even if you don't donate just watching will give views and raise awareness and in turn raise money anyway! It highlights how fortunate we are in the Western world and brought me back to Earth with a splash *pun intended*.
 -on a serious note though after oxygen, water is the very essence of our survival and knowing that millions of people struggle everyday to source it is painful. 
I post this on a rainy day that I can be thankful for.

This first one uses irony and it really does humble you:

The second one made me cry with a mixture of happiness and sadness, very beautiful:
