Read This At Your Own Convenience

Today is World Toilet Day. No kidding! This day is marked by the UN as an opportunity to recognise that so many people in our world do not have adequate sanitation.Of the worlds 7 billion people, it is estimated that around 6 billion have a mobile phone - but 2.5 billion don't have access to a proper toilet.
Go and read the stuff on this website - then consider if you should be helping.
I have friends who did not send out Christmas Cards last year and spent the money on a twinned toilet instead. Brilliant!

  1. Yes, basic sanitation. And not just in the developing world, either. Take a walk downtown in my first world city and the lack of facilities for the homeless population becomes very evident.
