After fundraising for charity: water throughout all of 2011, the Twenty Project is over. However, my work with charity: water is far from over; actually, I've already started another campaign because a few people want to donate late. After a year of educating myself about the water crisis and trying to help other people understand it, I can't simply turn away from it. Clean and safe water is a basic need that everybody deserves.
My ultimate goal is to raise $5,000 for charity: water. I don't care how long it takes. I've raised $2,544 of it so far, thanks to musicians, artists, an actor, friends, family and people I've never met. Incredible!
A lot of this project didn't go quite as planned. I was supposed to get 20 artists and musicians to contribute, but that didn't happen. People got busy. People who promised to help out didn't. It's okay; at the end of the day, everyone who did support Twenty helped 127 people get clean and safe water.
Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who supported Twenty in any way. I'll still post here from time to time. Feel free to pop by with any questions or comments. And don't forget: YOU can help transform lives with clean water at any time. Why wait? Just go to mycharitywater.org and sign up for your own campaign.
