Because we live in a First World Country, most of us hardly ever have to worry about meeting our basic needs such as having enough fresh water to drink and wash with. However, what we often fail to realize is just how precious this resource is in our world, as many of our brothers and sisters abroad have limited access to this essential supply. From the barren, poverty-stricken villages in Africa, to the recent contamination of the water supply in Flint, Michigan, which hits close to home, it is evident that we must do our part to conserve water so that as many children of God can use this commodity and lead healthy lives.
