My advice to anyone is that in order to make a positive change
in the world, you need to find something you are passionate about
and then you need to take steps to act. For me, the issue is water
and sanitation.
Water is essential to all life. I hope my story is a reminder
that we can all make a difference - it applies to each and every
one of us.
