Charity: Water put together another powerful video for their September campaign. Great looking website too, check it out below.

The Sahel is a narrow strip of land just below the Sahara Desert in Northern Africa. This area is frequently affected by drought and famine, and access to clean water is rare. This September, join the campaign to bring sustainable, clean water solutions to 100,000 people in two of the least developed countries in the Sahel: Mali & Niger.

Instant Ice Tricks http://mitchmckenna.com/post/13064/instant-ice-tips-tricks-and-things-to-watch-out-for

Pour a glass of water and watch it turn to ice instantly! This step-by-step tutorial will show you everything you need to know about Instant Ice.

To get this effect, I put multiple unopened bottles of PUREFLO bottled water in the freezer for 2 hours and 45 minutes exactly. The purified water gets supercooled, and when it touches an ice crystal, it turns instantly to ice. It will also do this if the bottle is hit hard enough. This was a really fun project, and one of my favorites because it's safe, awe inspiring, and anyone can do it.

Charity: Water - Creating Sustainable Well Projects http://mitchmckenna.com/post/11143/mechanics-on-a-mission-charity-waters-work-in-rural-india

What few charities focus on sadly is sustainability in their charity projects. Sure it's great to donate food and supplies, but what about next week for these people? next month?

Charity: water is making it a priority to keep clean water flowing over time. Up to 30% of the cost of a charity: water project goes into training and educating the community about how to take care of the well after their gone.

We're working with our partners to tackle the issue of sustainability, educate communities, and fund mechanics programs to repair broken water projects.

Scott Harrison of charity:water - Foundation http://mitchmckenna.com/post/10947/scott-harrison-of-charitywater-foundation

If you follow me online, you probably know charity:water is my favorite charity. I respect how transparent they are, how professional their videos and photos are, and the care they put into their campaigns. They've been a big inspiration in starting Given Tree (sign up here for more info).

Kevin Rose sits down with Scott Harrison, founder of the non-profit charity: water, which brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

Charity:Water - Shakil Khan visits Northern Ethiopia. http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7846/shakil-khan-visits-seglemen-village-in-northern-ethiopia

Shakil inspired me to do a raise money for charity for my 23d birthday, you can read more about it at mycharitywater.org/23forMitch.

In July 2010, Shakil Khan visited a village called Seglemen in Tigray, Ethiopia. About 4,000 people live here and collect their drinking water from a muddy creek. Thanks to everyone who donated to Shak's mycharity:water birthday campaign in June 2010, this area will soon have clean, safe drinking water.
