Care for planet Earth’s water first
It was easy to see on the media, TV and otherwise, billions of dollars spent to determine if there is water on several planets in our solar system. It has been estimated that about 500 water wells need to be dug in Africa and other countries to provide clean water to those children and families; about every 20 seconds a child dies of bad water.
Those billionaires in Forbes 500 could easily provide the funds to dig the wells. I believe this would bring joy to someone unseen. Life Outreach International in Fort Worth, Texas, has a proven record in coordinating these programs.
