A couple years ago I found myself griping about all the
water that was in the river because it messed up the fishing. The very next
day, I sat through a presentation about how people in Africa didn’t have enough
clean water to even drink. I felt like such a putts, and I knew those feelings weren’t
self-induced. I knew I was being told to do something. I started looking for
ways to help.
As fly fishermen we know the importance of good water. It’s what
we travel over the globe in search of, but for different reasons. Just think
about the trouble you went through to find the last piece of fishable water you
hit—now understand that the people in parts of Africa have a more intense
search, but this one is between life and death. Make our search seem a bit
small at times.
Living Water International realized that Water was the
vehicle to bring Love and Hope to people that had none. They knew that by
drilling just one well in a village they could impact the whole region. Kids would
no longer have to spend most of their day looking for and carrying water but
now could go school and break the cycle of poverty. These wells bring love,
Hope, and Change to regions that thought they had none.
The next time you stand in your favorite run could I humbly
ask you to think about helping me, help Living Water International bring water
and all the love and hope that it brings to the people of Africa? If so you can
easily donate by using this link. https://www.water.cc/natebailey
