CG Wealth Management January Special Edition

Personal Note From Chris Getzlaf

Last year, our team had an opportunity to meet Scott Harrison, founder of Charity: Water, during a conference we were attending. During Scott’s presentation, he discussed his lifelong passion and his mission of bringing clean water to people around the world. His message is incredibly inspiring! His organization allocates 100% of all donations specifically to bringing clean water to the world. We know we can help make a lasting impact on the lives of many. In lieu of any Christmas gifts this year, we have decided to team up with Bluesky in our office and together, build a new clean water well in a community of great need and we are excited to share our progress with all of you after 12 months once we start receiving updates.

Our $10,000 donation will build our own clean water well in a community of need. Imagine, walking miles per day to bring home dirty water for your family to drink, replaced with a tap that brings clean water to your entire community steps away from your home.

There are over 1 billion people on this earth who do not have access to clean water. Charity: Water has helped over 18.6 million people worldwide but there is still a long way to go.  771 million more to go to be more exact!

What sets Charity: Water apart is its radically transparent approach: 100% of public donations go directly to water projects in the field. Every dollar of our holiday donation goes straight to the project itself – not overhead, salaries, or fancy travel or funding a private yacht somewhere.

Imagine walking hours per day to obtain a basic life necessity, water. Now imagine how your life and community would change when you can replace those hours of walking to collect potentially unsafe water with a tap in your neighbourhood that provides, clean, SAFE, drinking water every day.

We heard stories of children enrolling in school, more family members able to earn an income and entire communities being empowered. You can imagine the difference in their lives that clean water provides beyond the health benefits.

Imagine that, a tap, something we generally take for granted will fundamentally change their lives forever.
