ONE DOLLAR, ONE PERSON, ONE HOPE.
This is Thembi. He and over 300 million African people lack the most basic human resource, clean water. Without it, Thembi and others suffering from HIV/AIDS cannot take their prescribed anti-retroviral medications. Without safe drinking water, they expose their already weakened immune systems to potentially fatal water-borne illnesses. Clean water for one person for a year costs one dollar. The first step toward achieving overall community health in Africa costs just a dollar. Blood:Water Mission’s 1000 wells project aims to build 1000 wells in some of Africa’s most needy communities, and with your dollar donation, they hope to free these communities from the diseases and inequalities caused by unsafe water.

ONE DOLLAR, ONE PERSON, ONE HOPE.
Under the sub-Saharan sun, Layla travels two miles to the nearest potable water source. On her back she carries a jerrican, which she fills with five gallons of water and weighs roughly 40 lbs. She makes this trip three times a day. Blood:Water Mission’s 1000 Wells Project is building wells in African communities like Layla’s, and they are asking you to donate one dollar, the cost of clean water for one person for a year. Just a dollar, less than the cup of coffee or a bottle of water. With your one dollar donation will help free these communities from the diseases and inequalities caused by unsafe water.

Meet Amani. Living in sub-Saharan Africa, a shortage of clean water and unsanitary living conditions increase his risk of contracting water-borne diseases. These include typhoid, cholera, giardia, and dysentery—the combined forces of which infect over 50% of the developing world’s population at any one time and claim the lives of over 2 million children like Amani each year, five times as many as HIV/AIDS, more than AIDS and malaria combined. Without safe water and sanitation, sustainable development is impossible, and without these most basic human resources, breaking out of the cycle of poverty will be nearly impossible for Amani.
 Clean water for one person for a year costs just one dollar, less than the cup of coffee or a bottle of water. One dollar provides the first step toward achieving overall community health in Africa. Studies show every dollar invested in clean water and sanitation saves seven dollars worth of long-term public services. Blood:Water Mission’s 1000 Wells Project aims to build 1000 wells in Africa’s most needy communities, and with your one-dollar donation, they hope to free these communities from the diseases and inequalities caused by unsafe water.

I'm posting my writing for the cause & effect assignment. I pick up my poster from Kinkos tonight. Hopefully I won't destroy it when I go to mount it. That would be unfortunate.

Your presentation looked more on the job then it did as a class assignment. Images-great. Your campaign slogan: one dollar one person one hope easily persuades.
I heard something negitive said but all the positives just removed it(or them)from mind.
