Join Tim DelaGhetto
to help the people of Haiti

Haiti was crazy! Like Compton, times ten. But it was cool to go with Water.org and see communities that were about to get clean water. I made some videos on this one called Fonten. This week, keep an eye out for my new vids and help me spread the love for water! Check it out. Click "Join this community" below to hook up with your Facebook or Twitter.

Water Project in Fonten #2

Join

All of the wells in Fonten are broken. "Sickness is ravaging us," said Pierre, the president of the local water committee. Kids go to the nearby river to collect water but animals get in the water too. The only other place they could go is a faraway spring, which is a little better but still contaminated. But now a water committee has been formed and they are rallying the community to do what they need to do to have clean water and health again.
