Help Shak raise $200k for Charity:Water
My friend Shak is on a mission to raise $200k for Charity Water and needs your help.
A frightening statistic, but almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean, safe drinking water, That’s one in eight of us.
Unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation kills 42,000 people every week, That’s more than all forms of violence, including war. Sadly, 90% of these deaths are children under five years old. As a parent, this statistic really moved me, I can’t express how sad this makes me feel.
So far Shak has raised a staggering $159k. However he wants to reach his goal of $200k before the 10th June 2010 which is when he sets off on a visit to Ethipoia to see the work Charity Water have done. So from now until the $200k is reached Shak will personally match every donation mate. So if you donate $100, Shak will also.
I urge you all to click here and make a donation. Every single dollar raised goes directly to project costs and you’ll be able to see the wells built on www.charitywater.org once they’re complete.
Finally, a massive well done to Shak on raising such a phenomenal amount of money, and good luck on the trip.

Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts too.
That’s good to hear. At least you are sharing your blessings to the people in need. I’m glad to hear that.
Just seen this now, well done Shak on going past the target, what a brilliant amount of money raised!

What was his final total of raising funds? What a great way to help a charity and promote yourself at the same time.
Good luck!! We’ve done our fair share of fundraising, so know how difficult it can be. All the best, you can do it! x
Looks like Shak managed the raise the funds and is on his trip to make a difference! Well Done Shak
Great achievement. Well done.
Good luck to Shak and well done!
Well done, Shak. Very glad to see people like him trying to make a difference for those in adversity.
It just goes to show you what one results driven individual can achieve. Now only if we could all stand together, toss politics and prejudice out the window, and strive to make the world a better place for all. Heaven can be a place on earth, it would really be awesome to see this happen in our lifetime!
Beautifully written, Net Age. Couldn’t have put it in any better myself. How wonderful would it be if everyone could harmonize and find happiness in each other. Like a famous late singer sang, ‘Heal the world and make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race.’
