Thank You for the Gift of Clean Water
My gratitude list begins with clean, running water and food. I‘ve traveled a lot in my lifetime. It’s easy to take those things for granted. When I step into a hot shower or bath, my body whispers a thank you.
Here’s a list of ten countries that don’t have clean water. Most of the people must travel, round trip, about 30 minutes to get safe water. Think about that the next time you turn your faucet on. Here’s the roundup: Ethiopia, Papua New Guinea, Chad, Uganda, the Congo, Mozambique, Tanzania, Somalia, Pakistan, and Nigeria.
I am grateful for the access.
