Chris Pennant honored our invitation to speak about the Water for People program (www.waterforpeople.org). Originally from Jamaica, Chris recognizes the importance of having access to safe water as it provides people means to have a human, decent life. "Every 35 seconds a child dies because of a water related disease. No child should die because they don't have proper water to drink or for lack of sanitation. " said Chris. Water for People supports the development of locally sustainable drinking water resources, sanitation facilities, and hygiene education programs in developing countries.
