Charity: Water

From New York City party promoter, Scott Harrison volunteered onboard the Mercy Ships for 6 months and it seemed to begin a monumental change in how he felt he needed to live his life.

He began Charity:Water, an organization that digs wells in the poorest regions of the world providing often the only clean water in the region.

I am impressed by Scott. As an artist I am impressed by his media savvy and the visual impact of his websites. As a human I am impressed by the scope of people he appeals to and who he pulls into his cause. As someone living in Liberia, I am impressed that living in the west, he has found a way to settle the uncomfortable feeling in his soul when seeing the disparity of many lives in this world.
