Thirst is a killer, plain and simple.
I am sure you have kept up with many media accounts of the growing drought on the African continent. We are raising money to dig wells and alleviate the great thirst of the continent.
I realize that many demands are made on your time, attention and (particularly) your wallet, but this is a case where a modest donation can make a big difference. I have pledged to raise $5,000 by December 1 for this urgent cause.
As a Jew, I am aware of the "Days of Awe" between Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur (Sept 18 this year)which is set aside as a time of repentance and personal resolution of the sins against other people you may have committed during the year. I decided to try to make this more meaningful in a larger sense by committing this time to try to rectify a sin against a continent and its thirsty inhabitants.
