WATER MISSIONS INTERNATIONAL
June 30, 2011

For the past five years I have participated and volunteered for the Water Missions International's annual Walk for Water. the Walk for Water symbolizes what nearly one billion people, mostly women and chldren have to do everyday, just to get water to drink. Plus, it is not even clean water. It is truly a walk with a message. Water Missions builds and distributes water treatment system throughout the world , helping to stop the spread of disease, improve the living conditions of those receiving clean water and to improve the economic conditions of the communities where the treatment systems are installed. And as a faith-based organization, Water Misssions also ministers to the spiritual needs of the people being served. Water misssions has a small but dedicated staff, they are excellent stewards of the donated funds and have a well developed mission and vision for their organization. I have received much more from my involvement with Water Missions than I though possible. Knowing that my efforts helps to made a difference to people around the world, meeting one of the basic necessities of life, has been a humbling but joyful experince. May God bless the work and efforts of Water Missions International.

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Helping with the annual fund raising event, the Walk for water. I've also helped with public relations, participating in promotional videos , Media interviews and speaking engagements.

Ways to make it better...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

help them find a large facility to operate from. Currently they are in very cramped quarters and desperately need more room for staff, officies and water treatment system production.

More feedback...

Would you volunteer for this group again?

Definitely

For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?

Life-changing

Did the organization use your time wisely?

Very Well

Would you recommend this group to a friend?

Definitely

What one change could this group make that would improve your volunteer experience?

Their staff is very busy, so sometimes it is difficult to reach them. They could benefit from larger quarters and some additional people to help with the work load.

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)

I have meet and worked with numerous wonderful people, most whom I now consider dear friends. I have opened up my home, to be a "hotel" for visiting volunteers that come to work for water missions.

How did this volunteer experience make you feel?

I have experienced a great deal of personal satisfaction volunteering with Water Missions; yet at the same time, it is a humbling experience as it makes you realize how fortunate and bless we are to live in a country where you do not have to worry about getting water to drink ...even water that will make you sick, once you get it.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2011
