Happy Earth Day!

Hello Friend,

🌍🌱🌻 Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌿🌼

Read below for our Earth Day message, our Walk updates, and exciting news on our new water filters in Colombia!

Today, as we celebrate the beauty and abundance that our planet offers us, let’s take a moment to reflect on the essential gifts it provides: clean water, nutritious food, stable climates, and the intricate balance of ecosystems that sustain life as we know it.

It’s imperative that we acknowledge the urgent need for change to restore Earth’s delicate equilibrium. Each of us holds the power to make a difference. As we contemplate our individual impact, it’s also vital to recognize how the current climate crisis is jeopardizing these fundamental necessities for our friends and community members in severely affected areas.

Let’s join hands in committing to meaningful action to safeguard our planet and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. It brings us much joy that we are already walking together in the work of Concern America. Below are some updates on our work, as well as a link to our most recent print newsletter that is our annual report. 🀝🌿🌏

Warm Regards,

John Straw

“Water is Abundant,

Clean Water is Not”

Our Colombia team has received 100 new water filters!! Woohoo! πŸŽ‰

Northwestern Colombia is located amongst many rivers that provide access to water to many communities and families: water is abundant, but clean water is not. As discussed in our previous E-News recounting the amazing work being done with our new microscope in the Guatemala program, parasites and diseases are caused by the consumption of unclean water, a leading cause of child mortality throughout the world. Through these new water filters, it is saving the lives of many by putting the massive resources of water to use and purifying it so it is safe for human consumption. Yet another amazing achievement! πŸŒŸπŸ’§
