Hot Water Saves Lives

[similiesslip]

In these past couple weeks, I have marveled at the miracle of hot water. My family has battled three (yes, three separate it seems) stomach viruses and hot water is a life-saver. Hot water enables me to wash all the various clothes and blankets that are messed up when people get sick

As a child I lived in Africa, and the contrast between the developed and the developing world is huge. By taking the example of hot water, I hope you bring it home to people!

We are truly blessed to have the luxury of clean water.

I am just leaving India, so I found this really relevant! Part of how they do it is they have more kids and more community, so if they're sick, the sister or the daughter takes over the job. It still sucks, though, to have to boil water. I was in a village with no electric, though I was visiting, not sleeping, and baths happen in cold water, outside, in the daytime, dressed and taking one limb out of clothes at a time to wash it. Glad you pointed out the Water Project - it's a very worthy cause!
