How far can $1.25 go?
My kiddos have been at a Vacation Bible School at a local church this week. It's been awesome to come in a little early to pick them up and see them worshipping Jesus. They always end with a time of worship and prayer. They also have been collecting money for children in India who don't have clean drinking water. I was shocked to learn that $1.25 will give a child in India clean water for ONE YEAR. I thought it would be a week, maybe a month, but a WHOLE YEAR. ONE DOLLAR and TWENTY FIVE CENTS. The same amount I spent on the one child's at the Dollar Tree yesterday. One dollar for a cheap, crappy, junky toy they don't need. REALLY. Or, one dollar to make a child's life in India better for a YEAR. It's a no brainer to me, folks. Next time my kids want to go to the Dollar Tree, we are putting that money in a jar to see how many kids we can give clean water to in India instead. Or, every time I want a latte, I will put four dollars in and support four children for a year. Lets' see, one drink for me that will be gone in 30 minutes or less, or giving a child clean water for a year. That's what I call a great ROI, friends. Who else will join us?
