Let’s End the Global Water Crisis
JOIN THIS GROUP
Organized by PlayPumps International on 3/11/2008
Location: Washington, DC 20036
This group is intended to engage, inform and inspire all thinkMTV members to fight the global water crisis. Join PlayPumps International in our mission to bring clean drinking water to schools and communities in sub-Saharan Africa. YOU can help reverse the biggest public health challenge of our time by taking small steps that can make a big difference. In a world where more than one billion people do not have access to clean water, we cannot standby any longer. Let’s use this space to come together and take action around water issues at home and abroad. We can make a difference.
