I can't imagine how lucky we are compared to this boy. But God help him through good people like you. This is a clear indication that water is life. Even at a young age, he knew how important it is. I wonder if his story could be featured in leading tv shows, I'm sure the "sleeping senators" will wake up. What's the latest about this little boy? Tears fell while reading this post.

Thanks. Your article makes me realize just how blessed we are.

I'm reminded of a gospel song from many years ago, a portion which includes:
“If just a cup of water I place within your hand,
Then just a cup of water is all that I demand.”
