So I stumbled upon this while reading Pam Chun’s Posterous.  Charity Water is about a man named Scott Harrison who wanted to do more for his 32 birthday than just recieve gifts.  So instead, he asked everyone instead for $32 to help bring fresh water to Kenya.  One year later, Charity Water is encouraging all September born people to instead of recieving gifts for themselves, to encourage their friends to give $33 to support this cause.  As soon as I heard this, I was convicted and stressed.  I’ve always recieved gifts for my birthday and it was hard for me to imagine not getting anything.

This September, I will be turing 21.  I’ll keep you updated on what I’ll be doing.
