40 Contemplations for Lent — Day 33: Bottled Water
For Lent this year, I’m giving up hiding myself from… well, myself! I’m having dialogues with my inner children about each topic from this link.
Cori: Water is so important.
wolfie: what’s the big deal about water? you can get it anywhere, can’t you?
Cori: Actually, there are a lot of places in the world where water is not readily available, or is contaminated. We are very lucky to have fresh running water available.
wolfie: wow. *looks very concerned and shocked* i didn’t know that.
Cori: Would you like to hear a story about one man’s journey to get water to South Sudan?
wolfie: ok.
Cori: This man is named Salva Dut, and he has facilitated getting wells built in South Sudan. If you click on his name, you can watch a video. If you click this link, you can find the Water for South Sudan website.
wolfie: i didn’t know. how can we help?
Cori: They need donations. You and I are spreading the word right now!
wolfie: cool! i want everyone in the world to have access to clean and drinkable water.
Cori: Me too, wolfie. Also, there is a big issue with too many plastics. We can help this by recycling, and by using reusable containers for our own water. We have a Berkey water filtration system that we use. (No affiliate link. We just like it!)
wolfie: i have a canning jar with a fancy lid that i like to use for my water.
Cori: Your canning jar is right sized for you! Mine is a quart, I think.
wolfie: cori sized!
