Ham Express

This post is going to be a lot different from the normal posts here on Ham Express, but there is good reason. The VlogBrothers from YouTube started the YouTube Project 4 Awesome. Hank and John Green both started this project together to promote charity. Thousands of YouTubers, including myself, will be posting their own Project 4 Awesome videos talking about a charity of their choice. Hank and John will actually donate $1000 to  the charity of the best Project 4 Awesome video. This project is just so…well… uh… AWESOME!

The charity that I personally support and will be promoting in the YouTube Project for Awesome is Charity: Water. Charity: Water is such a great organization that builds wells in villages that are unfortunate enough to not have access to safe, clean water. There are around 1.1 billion people who do not have access to safe, clean water. That’s 1 out of every 6 people! We really do sometimes take our access to clean water for granted. We have it easy, because all we have to do is turn a nob and water just comes shooting out. Many people around the world do not have the luxury of indoor plumbing and clean drinking water. Well Charity: Water is trying to change things by building wells in many villages. One by one Charity: Water is able to build wells for villages thanks to the support of people like you and me. So I ask you to please donate to Charity: Water. If you don’t feel like giving them straight money, you can even purchase gifts and merchandise from their website. 100% of the money from these purchased gifts and merchandise on their site go directly to building wells. So either way you are providing someone out there with safe, clean water. Water is essential to life, without it life could not exist.

So let me know what you think? Let me know if you decided to donate. Also go to YouTube and search for Project 4 Awesome Videos, rate, and comment on them! Hope you enjoyed the post!
