This video absolutely broke my heart. I was married to a man from the Ivory Coast, and I went there with him to visit in 1996. Things weren't great there even then, compared to what I was used to in the US. However, there was a degree of political stability, and most of the people I met were living fairly well. The people were absolutely wonderful, so kind and generous. At that time, the Ivory Coast was considered one of the more progressive countries in that area. To see such a dramatic change in the condition of the country and the terrible difficulties the people are now having is just devastating to me. We take so much for granted here, it's shameful. Such a basic and life-sustaining commodity as water, imagine how we would react if we didn't have access to clean water. What UNICEF is doing with this water project is AWESOME! I hope that everyone who sees this video will consider making a donation to the project.

It takes me back to the memory line when working for an NGO -GIANTS INTERNATIONAL- we could arrange borewell water to Thakurwadi village nearby Mumbai-1987.
They had to walk 1kilometre to cllect drops of water for their daily use.It was a great sight to see children having belly full of water.
Afterwards -The moment of satisfaction - mentioned in my biodata -to see the adiwasi child smile with satisfaction after having bellyful of water from the borewell installed at Thakurwadi village behind Mukund Iron Kalwa Thane.
Lucy Liue points out to a reality what every one of us has to support.Some are born strong so that they can help the weak.
At least forward the message to your friends
