Charity selling water to help pay for clean water in Africa
Thursday, July 31, 2008
Water may be taken for granted by many people in the U.S., but that is exactly why Justin Pobst thinks his not-for-profit organization will be successful. Today, Pobst's organization, Water4Water, will begin selling 20-ounce bottles of water at local businesses in Cape Girardeau, Jackson and Sikeston, Mo. The proceeds will be donated to the charity Blood: Water Mission, which helps build water-wells in Africa. Today, the mayors of Cape Girardeau and Jackson will buy the first two bottles of water at the Cape Girardeau County Courthouse.
