========{ email message from myCharity: Water}====================
I will post more info when I get it. Cool to know where the money went. For probably the first time in my life, I can say we threw money down into a hole in the ground - and it is a great thing!Hi MusicH2O,
By now you’ve heard from us about Dollars to Projects, and that you'll see proof of the water projects you funded through your mycharity: water campaign in 2010. We want to give you an update on how your hard-earned funds are being used toward clean drinking water.
Dollars to Projects
Where your money has been sent: Tigray, Ethiopia
About a year ago, your funds were pooled with those of other mycharity: water campaigns to help thousands of people in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia. Our local partner, Relief Society of Tigray (REST), is currently constructing the water projects. Then they'll provide hygiene education to communities and create Water Committees to oversee the completed water projects.
These water projects will be fully completed next year. Then, REST field staff will go back to collect GPS coordinates, photos and other details of each community using their new water source. They’ll send all of this information along to us so we can report back on exactly how each dollar you raised helped people in need.
See an example of the report you’ll receive when your projects are ready here » http://mycharitywater.org/p/myprojects?member_id=4806
Learn more about REST in a blog post from charity: water Founder Scott Harrison here » http://www.charitywater.org/blog/ethiop ... m_content=
Talk to you soon!
Thanks so much for your patience and support. You’ll hear from us again soon on the status of your projects. If you have any questions at all, please email Merry McCarron at help@charitywater.org.
