Would you drink pond water?

The PSA I found is about charity for clean water for Africa.  I found this PSA to be particularly appealing to me because everyone can relate to it, everyone drinks/uses water. Advertisers are trying to get anyone to donate.  They are using a serious approach to help deliver the message of how serious the lack of clean water is for the world.  I personally know that this hits home with anyone living in the St. Charles area this month with the boil order that was placed in effect on September 14.  People immediately freaked out and ran to the store to get bottled water.  All stores were sold out of water within a couple hours of the boil order going into effect.  This only lasted for 2 days and had people in a panicked state of frenzy.

 I can’t imagine how the people living in Africa have to drink dirty water on a daily basis, and have no other option.  It seems as if people forget that other people in the world don’t have the same availabilities that we do, and that is why I think this PSA speaks volumes.  The ending line of the clip says that donating $20 can provide one person clean water for 20 years.  I think that line is the most effective part of the whole PSA announcement.  Anyone who sees this will think about what they could spend $20 on, and possibly save a life.  It only takes $1 a year to help someone who is in need of safe drinking water.  Why would you not donate after seeing this PSA?
