    Scott, your video has moved me to tears.

    It's not just because you are directly saving lives and providing skills and tools to water-impoverished areas enabling them to continue on to self sufficiency and good health, but you are sharing a global grassroots template that speaks to the needs of 2009.

    I believe there is an enormous hollow in the hearts of the formerly self indulgent from the first world crying to make sense of a vacancy in their lives. Inward focus has turned outward. The old definition of success, “look-at-me-see-what-I-have!” has evolved to “look-at-them-what-can-I-do?”

    Your innovative use of communication has delivered a problem and a solution directly into the world community bread baskets. You’ve made it so easy for us to see, feel, contribute, and heal.

    Thank you. Cheryl A. Schwartz / aeropolowoman

    Cheryl, I agree with you. I was once a self-indulgent type who adhered to the old definition of success. Yes, there was a "vacancy" that I could not fill. For the last two years I have been working hard at re-conceiving myself, re-inventing myself, defining my values and what is important in life. I am getting closer and am almost fully evolved to the new definition of success.

    I was also moved to tears by this video. I received this video at the perfect time - I was just about to respond to a letter in the comments & views section of a local paper discussing, "The Love Affair With Bottled Water Is Over". With the information from Charity: Water, I now have a better grasp of what I should write in my article.

    Scott, keep up the great work!

    Amazing Video! I took that shot at Madison Square Garden at the Mark Messier Jersey Retirement Night. Glad to see it's going to good use! :)

    This is so very globally cool! Going to the Twestival in Halifax, NS Canada - while friends are currently at Twestivals throughout New Zealand (it's a timezone thing).

    I just went to the Brisbane Twestival last night - I also donated a drawing for auction. I was so happy to be able to contribute!
    My dodgy video of last night has just been uploaded :D
