Wonderful message and image of hope. Dear Annette, it is surprising to me to see how many people are ignorant of the care of our water. They waste so much of it. It makes me sad. God Bless You for raising this awareness.

Robin Brown 30 Jan 2008

Annette, this image speaks volumes. Used to promote aid for countries that need help with clean water supplies & many other basic requirements this image could make a huge difference to the success of that appeal.

Steven Torrisi 30 Jan 2008

Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink particularly in the poorest countries is a life-sustaining commodity worth its weight in gold, and one day will be true everywhere as fresh drinking water becomes scarcer.
