I've never met a more inspirational person. His name is Ken Surritte and he and his wife started Hearts & Hands International (HHII) (http://heartsandhandsinternational.org/) as well as Water is Live (http://waterislife.com/).
We are currently counting down the days - 7 to go! - until we unveil Ken's Hearts & Hands new identity, brand and website, as well as with a few promotions to help spread the word (yes, including Twitter promotions).
HHII is a non-profit organization that travels around the world helping children at risk. The organization is desperately seeking individuals with any range of skills such as; electricians, plumbers, doctors, dentists, surgeons, nurses, general contractors, nursery attendants, people to teach English, and so much more.
HHIII also sells coffee to help save lives. If you already drink your daily cup of Joe then switch to Kenyan AA Blue Mountain Coffee. Proceeds from just one bag of coffee provide a Kenyan child the simple necessities we take for granted on a daily basis such as food, clean water, shelter, and clothing for one month.
Next, through WaterIsLife.com, Ken created a live-saving filtration straw, allowing those with poor water sources to drink clean water. WaterIsLife.com wishes to touch children, one by one, to save their lives from waterborne disease and work with partners to provide a sustainable long term water solution.
The straw Ken created is incredible. This straw actually filters any type of water for those who do not have the ability to drink clean water. Think dirty stream water with cows, feces...etc. These straws are a temporary solution, however, until his team can come back to these impoverished villages with enough manpower and finances to drill a water well- bringing fresh water to the village for the rest of it's existence.
These two organizations have inspired so many people to get up off their behinds and help those less fortunate. Please follow along as Ken, his wife and countless volunteers travel the world, continue to revolutionize solutions, bring hope to those who have none, and save lives.
