You may not have noticed, but we have a new web banner at the bottom of the page for a new organization. The following is a little about the group, and cause.

Dollar for a Drink was started by a home-school sophomore, Joshua Guthrie. (He also happens to be a rebelutionary.) This summer he decided to start a project, (build a well in Sudan,) but there was a small problem; it cost $8,000. Out of that problem came the organization Dollar for a Drink.

Here is some info about what they do. (It's from their web site.)

...Dollar for a Drink is a non-profit organization that is raising money for fresh water wells in Sudan, Africa. We are working with Baptist Global Response, which is a humanitarian relief organization similar to World Vision and Samaritan's Purse. Dollar for a Drink is a "turn-key" operation. We raise the money for the wells, and BGR puts them in. 100%* of donations will be spent towards the building of the well(s).

*The 100% comes from the amount after the donation transaction fee, which is charged by the Network for Good organization for the use of their services. The transaction fee is 3%. In other words, if you give $1.00, then only .97 cents will go to the building of a well. There is an option on the donation page to give an extra 3% to cover the transaction fee so that an entire dollar goes to the building of a well.

The concept is not hard to grasp: Give up one drink. Give one dollar. Build one well in Sudan.
