CONFIRMATION/SUNDAY SCHOOL ERD PROJECT

DRINK, WASH, COOK, LIVE

Go to the Cathedral website to view our video for our fundraising project in support of Episcopal Relief and Development. Or for more information visit their YouTube link: http://youtu.be/cmSsvR18JhM

The Confirmation/School Sunday ERD Project has expanded to include the members of the Fun Club but the goal of this ambitious Lenten outreach project remains the same; raise $2500 in contributions to be given to Episcopal Relief and Development to fund two water treatment facilities.

The group is asking Cathedral children to donate the change they collect in their "ERD Hope Chests" to the clean water program. For adults who would prefer to make donations, ERD envelopes are available. Please make your checks payable to Christ Church Cathedral, with the notation ERD project.

The class was drawn to the Clean Water project because they have never had to consider whether the water they drank was safe. In many third world countries, people cannot afford to filter their water. Water that is not clean can contain parasites and other things that can hurt the human body. When people consume the water, they will become sick. Some of the diseases can even cause death. If we can reduce the amount of unfiltered drinking water in these countries, that help build up the economies. When there are fewer people getting sick, there are more people working and earning money for their families.

Every 15 seconds, a child dies from a water related disease. When you donate to this cause, it helps empower communities to create safe and clean water sources by building wells and piping systems to prevent waterborne illnesses. Also by training members of communities on the use and maintenance of the water systems.

Our goal can be reached with a $10 donation from each of our 250 Cathedral families. Will you give today?
