RandomKid Goes to Africa!

by Anne Ginther, President of RandomKid

I'm posting this slightly in advance of a big announcement. I risk spoiling a surprise... but I'm hoping the children we're working with are too busy getting back into the groove at school, that they won't be surfing the net for stuff like this. If you know one of the children involved, please don't spoil it for them. The kids we've been working with don't yet know that they've raised enough money to purchase a PlayPump® water system in a South African Village. They'll learn the news on the 29th, 30th, and 31st --depending on which school they attend. And they'll learn that not only have they funded a pump, but that it has already been installed. The town of Marble Hall and surrounding community of Fairview in South Africa FOR THE FIRST TIME has access to safe water--thanks to the children of RandomKid's water project!
