I Can Do This

I'm not a good writer or blogger, but I can do this. I can point you in the right direction (if anyone even reads this anymore).
Life is hard, life is busy. But I am amazed that we can make a difference through the power of communication and technology. Here is the deal: 1. 1/3 of all drinking wells built in the last 20 years are broken.

2. Over 4,000 children die every day from lack of clean drinking water.

3. The well mechanics business in North India trains and equips men and women to repair their region’s water wells.

4. If we raise $10,000, we will help mechanics fix hundreds of wells for years to come, turning water back on for 300 people each month.

So some brilliant people came up with the idea of encouraging bloggers to encourage their readers to donate on Tuesday March 22nd, 2011. And it gets better. If we sacrifice a little of our time and little from our wallets, our impact will double. The The Prem Rawat Foundation will double the $10,000.

There are over 100 bloggers participating. We are all aiming for 10 of our readers to give $20. Will you be one of my 10?

New Blog Name

It's a new year and we have been living in a new place for over 6 months now. I can't believe how fast time continues to go. But with the change of residency, we no longer are blogging from the "Depths of Pearce" (or home/residence hall back in PA). So we've decided it's time to change the blog name and we're looking for suggestions. And just to make it fun, if you make a suggestion and we choose to use it, we'll send you a $10 gift card of some sort. We know that it is just our friends and family who look at this blog, so we hope you guys can come up with some good titles. We may not choose any of them... and in that case we'll just spend the $10 on ourselves :). But it will be fun to see what you come up with. Good Luck!
