So, it's not exactly true, but it, coupled with "aggressive fundraising" by Water.org, is a kickstarter for a project to give access to clean water to people who don't have it.

Mind-boggling how something as simple as clean water is not an omnipresent commodity in some places.

I'm going to set up a monthly donation to Water.org. I don't have much — I am, after all, a student in Russia — but there are people who have even less. Throughout my life, a lot of people helped me. I'd like to honor their part in my success as a human being and extend the same honor to those who could use it.

Thank you for sharing this.
