World Water Day

Water means hope, it means life. Without water, there is no life. There is no better way to celebrate life than by sharing a glass of water. Everyone who does this will surely be rewarded. Water always brings good news; it always brings a message of hope to those who are in need.
Word water day , is focusing on the importance of freshwater, advocating for its sustainable management, and raising awareness for the 2+ billion people living without access to safe water.

The Drillers:
During the creation, water was an important part .
The first hand dug well mentioned in the Bible is Isaac’s water well dug by his servants and they hand dug other wells.
Then Isaac hand dug another well
One of the most important water wells later named Jacobs well, exists up until today.

Nothing has changed. Humans continue searching for this vital liquid, reaching new places where drilling is more difficult, places where the work takes longer due to the extra effort, impassable roads, heat, rain, and many other factors that are somehow left behind when water is struck and a new place has access to water.

Water wells (or sources of water) were places of great significance, representing life itself and often associated with God’s blessing, as seen in the story of Abraham and Isaac.

Those who break up the hard ground to bring forth life giving water echo the work of The Holy Spirit who breaks up the hard ground to make room for the Living water of Jesus.

Significance of Wells:

In an arid region, wells were crucial for survival, both for livestock and humans.

Wells were places where people gathered to drink water, which often led to encounters and relationships.

Wells can symbolize God’s provision, the thirst for spiritual life, or even the need to seek God.

Nothing has changed. We’re still drilling wells, even with all the limitations. We’re still searching for water.
I want to dedicate this day to all those who work hard in this sector, doing this noble work of bringing water to those who don’t have it. They’re obedient in continuing this noble task of striking that rock where abundant water will flow. We continue bringing water to those places, Hoping for a better future

Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Me will certainly not lose their reward. by @sturf3

World Water Day!

For many of us it is just another day since the supple of water has never been a problem and can’t always feel what others lack. For others it is a big day of celebration since they may have only recently seen the availability of this vital liquid became a reality in their community.

For many it is a very big celebration since finally this vital liquid became a reality in their community. For others it is just another day since the

World Water Day Can’t believe that in 2023, 771 million people – 1 in 10 – lack access to safe water. Women, kids, and men around the world still don’t have access to a reliable source of potable clean drinking water.

Can’t believe that people complain about not having fast enough internet or other little things when in some parts of the world, women and children bear the primary responsibility for water collection.
• Women and girls around the world spend 200 million hours every day collecting water. This is time not spent working, caring for family members, or attending school.
• Women and girls living without a toilet spend 266 million hours every day finding a place to go.

Many people have to walk long distances to get water just to stay alive. This is not a privilege; it’s a matter of life or death. Humans are made of 70% water, and that makes this a human right for all mankind.

Can’t believe that around the world the ground water levels have decreased and no one says anything. There are only a few voices shouting this out, and no one seems to care.

This reality doesn’t make it to the news because it not a topic of interest.

Can’t believe that some of us that have unlimited access to this vital liquid, don’t do anything to use it wisely, and we waste it...thinking that we will always have it. We don’t to anything to preserve it.

Can’t believe it’s so hard for us to do simple things like this.

For those of us who have access to the vital liquid: if we don’t change our behavior, then we can’t help or bring change to those who lack it.

Help us, any water organization, or anyone involved in reaching out to the people in areas where access to clean and save water is difficult.

Maybe in the near future, I could say, “I can’t believe we made this possible, and everyone despite their skin color, religion, or belief has access to this resource that makes us all equal.”

“And if anyone gives a cup of cold water ,that person will certainly not lose their reward.”

Let’s show some love and empathy. by @sturf3

I would like to dream that tomorrow would be the day where we can all celebrate that one of the human rights has been fulfilled in the world . I would dream that the state, charitable organizations and the population did everything possible to make it a reality without discriminating against anyone. I want to live in a world where that right exists regardless of race , color , religion or social status, where no one has more than anyone of that element of life called water without which we have death. This should be the right for everyone and for this I keep dreaming.
Every right brings great responsibility and that responsibility is ours. Today I realize that I cannot continue dreaming, but wake up and continue fighting to be able to change the sad reality that they give us.
three out of ten people 2.1B lacked access to safe drinking water and six out of ten 4.5B to safely managed sanitation facilities. every day children die from water-related diseases; Millions of people consume contaminated water.
Those alarming figures that the UN reveals to us and that we cannot stop ignoring. however, despite what has been achieved this goal remains beyond the reach and reality of a large part of the world's population. We must reverse this situation. It is not too late, but it is urgent to become aware of the need for water and its essential value for the good of people, this vital element should be a priority for everyone, not just for a few
It is beautiful to think that it has been achieved, but it is more beautiful to act and continue working hard to be able to reach the goal where we can all say there is water, there is life, where we work hard for this generation and for the next. Where no one has to walk long distances, or suffer for it, where the statistics and health outcomes are improving everywhere and where through the unity and effort of all, it is a safe and quality available resource for all.
Again , to all who believe in the cause , to all who work hard to bring quality water
To the last corner of the earth , those who save and care for this resource , thank you.meanwhile I will continue dreaming that with every effort this will not be a dream taken in El Tránsito, Leon, Nicaragua by @sturf3

Today is world water day

I woke up thinking that another year has passed and yet the struggle continues.

Many organizations, governments, and others working in this area are trying to achieve much more, telling you wash your hands , drink enough water but seems like the battle it’s hard when the H20 is not available or has not come yet.

A year that was quite different has taught us a lot. Access to drinking water, like a vaccine, can save many lives. Unfortunately it is not available to the most vulnerable, due to difficult access, lack of resources, or simply the lack of importance and support of those who have been benefited from this liquid and it has never been a struggle to obtain it.

Today I want to focus on raising awareness that if we join forces every day we could reach more places and benefit more people. Today I challenge you to find an organization focused on water and sanitation and learn more about this problem and support with whatever your resources have. Each organization has its methods and strategies or campaigns to reach every corner of the planet to bring this vital liquid to each person regardless.

Clean water is something that we take for granted. We have the assurance of opening a faucet. We have city water, bottled water or the money to buy it, but that’s not the case for others. The lack of clean water affects more people than you could even imagine, children, women , men everyone.

The need for clean water makes us all vulnerable, it’s a matter of life or death . It makes us all
equal no matter your skin color, religion or you name it, that’s why I’m asking you to join forces as a team. Let’s become partners of this movement and let’s help those who still fight or walk long distances to have a cup of clean water for them and their loved ones .

Clean water changes everything. A water well it’s like a bomb that affects everything around it , but instead of destruction spreads love and hope into the community. ( Don Rafael Local from Nicaragua R I P)

And if you give a cup of cold water to one of the least of these, you will surely be rewarded.”

Thank you all . #cleanwaterfortheworld #cleanwaterforall #cleanwaterproject taken in El Tránsito, Leon, Nicaragua by @sturf3
