I've seen this issue out there since I've been watching the China boards and now finally it looks like it may be the beginning of the end. Clean water is something that we take for granted everyday. Unfortunately children in third world countries don't have this luxury.
The first I had really thought of such a thing was shortly before we traveled to bring Sam home. I met a little girl who had been born in Russia and found her forever family here in the U.S. She was two when she came home and was discovered to be infected with giardia, a parasite that is transmitted by dirty water. After several months of antibiotics, her system was clean, no more giardia and all of the effects that come with it. She is now a very healthy and thriving almost 10 year old!
While searching the adoption boards this morning, I see that thanks to a huge donation, all of China's orphanages will now be equipped with water filtration systems. And China's most susceptible children will now have clean drinking water. That's great news!
