because ... EVERY DROP COUNTS!A Visit From Steve From BUCKNER, International
Last Wednesday, we had a visit from Mr. Steve from Buckner International. Buckner has been around for many years and helps deliver SHOES to many children ALL over the world! They also are an integral part in helping get Water Filtration Kits to underdeveloped countries and also to places in the United States that need access to clean water!
To get clean water all you need is a 5 gallon buck, and a filter kit
They also teach people in underdeveloped countries how to use the drill bit
to make a hole in the bucket without a drill -- it takes a little longer and
a little more elbow grease ... but it can be done!
This TINY filter costs $52.00
It can filter 360 gallons in a day -- after 360 gallons the filter needs to be cleaned
This one filter can clean up to 1 MILLION gallons of water
Which can last up to 10 YEARS!!!!!!
Let's make some dirty water to see how the filter works
DIRT & WATER
Screw on the filter
CLEAN WATER BEGINS TO FLOW!!!!!
Mr. Steve took a drink of the CLEAN WATER!!!!!
To clean the filter, use the syringe (that is included in the kit)
and run clean water backwards through the filter until CLEAN water
begins to flow ... now the filter can do it's job again!
Amazing that this filter only costs .01 cent a day
and will clean water for 10 years!
WHAT CAN WE DO???
