lgstarr: An easy way for you to help the 20 million people ravaged by floods in Pakistan!

Re: LIFESTRAWS
http://kickstartdaily.com/lifestraw

Clean water is a major issue in Pakistan following the floods which have left up to 20 million people affected and over 6 million at urgent risk. One of the main risks now is from water-carried disease.

From Internet Marketer Martin Avis:

No Internet marketing today, no trivia and no chit-chat.

This is way too important.

Long time readers of Kickstart will remember that a few years ago
I held an appeal to raise money for my Rotary Club to buy
Lifestraws.

Lifestraws, if you haven't heard of them, are high-tech filter
tubes that allow a person to suck up water from any dirty,
contaminated source and make it 100% safe to drink.

Each Lifestraw lasts a person for up to a year and for those
stuck in disaster areas, where water is anything but safe to
drink, they save lives.

Each straw cost just a couple of bucks. The price of a cup of
coffee.

Right now there are 6 million people at significant risk in
Pakistan and the Rotary Club coordinating the buying in and
sending out of Lifestraws (over 100,000 have been sent worldwide
since the project began) has completely run out of stocks.

The last 11,000 in the warehouse have already been sent to
Pakistan and now the cupboard is bare.

My Rotary Club - and many others - is now organizing a fast
program of fundraisers and bucket collections to raise money to
quickly buy more container loads of Lifestraws.

The need is desperate - you know that I'm sure as the news in the
papers and on TV has shown the sheer unimaginable scale of the
problem.

We can't help everyone, but every Lifestraw we can get to
Pakistan will help save a life. That's all we can hope to do -
save one life at a time.

And you can help.

Please help.

I have reopened the Kickstart Lifestraw Appeal - you can find the
page at http://kickstartdaily.com/lifestraw

It tells you about Lifestraws - what they are, what they can do
and why we need your money so urgently. Both to help the
situation right now and to prepare for the inevitable needs the
next time nature strikes.

But more importantly, there is a PayPal donation button there so
you can send us as much as you can afford.

As this is a Rotary Club initiative, the money will go directly
to my club's account - not to me - and as Rotarians never make
any admin charges 100% of your donation (after PayPal's fees)
will go straight towards buying and distributing Lifestraws.

And please give as generously as you can.
