Trip to Nepal

I wanted to share something personal with you that I’m excited about.

I have a personal desire to do all that I possibly can to solve the world’s water crisis. Twenty percent of the population of our planet goes to bed every night either thirsty or sick because of unclean water.  My part may just be a “drop in the bucket”, but I believe with the efforts of millions of others who share my same passion, the bucket will get wetter each day.  

I am a part of a relief team from Wine to Water that will be bringing clean water to the remote village of Dahakhani in the foothills of northern Chitwan.  One of the reasons that the need is so dire in Dahakhani is due to a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit the region in April of 2015. Thousands were killed and millions displaced in the region due to the massive landslides that destroyed many of the rural villages. The earthquake shifted the water table in many areas, causing natural springs and well systems to dry up or considerably reduce their production. Half the population in this area survives on roughly $1 per day. 

I plan to make updates daily of the relief work we’ll be doing with the Dahakhani people. 

Thank you for your interest. I hope you will allow me to take you along on this journey through the virtual capabilities of the internet.
