As you know, making clean water available to all is a cause close to my heart. Last year, I hosted a Cause Party fundraiser to help provide children in Africa with clean water. Through the generous support of sponsors and my guests, 45 children were given clean water for one year. According to a report by UNICEF and The World Health Organization, about 1.5 million children under the age of five die each year from diarrhea – and an estimated 88 per cent of diarrheal deaths worldwide are attributable to unsafe water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene. Diarrhea kills more young children than AIDS, malaria and measles combined. The figures are shocking – but we can change this. Did you know that one year of clean drinking water for a child in Africa costs less than going to a movie? What may seem like the smallest of efforts can make a huge impact for the better.
That’s why I am proud to announce that Procter & Gamble have chosen me to join their team of P&G GIVE HEALTH Bloggers. For every verified click on the “Click to Donate Water†widget below, P&G will donate one day of clean drinking water (2L) to a person in need through P&G’s Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program. You can maximize your donation further by using the widget to spread the word on Facebook or Twitter. One simple click can help us change lives for the better!
Additionally, for every 1000 days of water that Contest Corner generates with the widget, P&G GIVE HEALTH will provide me with a $50 gift card or giveaway, and promote this blog on Twitter and Facebook. (Donating water would have been more than enough compensation in and of itself!)
If you are a blogger, please check out GiveHealthBlogivation.com and apply to be a P&G GIVE HEALTH Blogger. The more bloggers involved, the more days of water that will be generated by the end of the year! Together with their readers, a network of GIVE bloggers generated more than 21,000 days of clean drinking water this past summer during the GIVE HEALTH Blogivation. Our goal is to reach 100,000 days of water donated by the end of 2010. Wouldn’t that be amazing?

What do you see in her? I weahctd several interviews with her and she doesn’t seem particularly unique or charming. She’s cute… I don’t know, maybe I should watch some of her adult movies.
