One of my close friends has an 11 year old daughter who has taken on the task of building a well in Africa. She is the sweetest thing and came up with the idea on her own. I pray that our daughter will be like her when she grows up. She's so precious... here's a video she made about the needs for clean water around the world: http://www.gofundme.com/5jobgg <br /><br />Hoping you will be able to benefit from the use of your maids soon!! :o) Miahttp://miaslovetree.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-36198250174558781782014-03-14T04:49:35.491-06:002014-03-14T04:49:35.491-06:00"Water, water everywhere and not a drop to dr..."Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink..."
