I wanted to give you a quick update. First, thank you so much for all your help. Water Is Life has sent our emergency stockpile to Haiti. These filters were shipped to a staging area in Boston for IRD and USAID they are now on their way to Haiti with the medical team from USAID. The filters will be handed out to the people coming to the hospital and taught how to use them.
I can’t tell you how much we appreciate Senator Jim Inhoff and his staff. He has been helping to get these doors opened for us to partner with the medical teams going over.
Water Is Life has thousands more filters are being shipped direct from the factory, first shipment will arrive later this week.
I have a favor to ask: If you could Tweet, email, call, use Facebook and other means of social media to help spread the word for us. When the news teams leave Haiti in the next couple weeks, and the relief workers leave, the people of Haiti will still need water. The filters will give them clean water for a year.
Thank you for helping to raise awareness and encouraging others to help.

Thanks for your help spreading the news.
Hi Ken – Just thought I would give you an update to what the kids and families at Prairie Vale Elementary School (Deer Creek/Edmond) are doing to support “Water is Life”. We have sent emails to all the families in our school and we had Club Hope members tell the whole student body all about “Water is Life” at yesterday’s school assembly. We have sent home fliers to remind people that they CAN help the people in Haiti. Our principal has challenged the students and families to raise $5000 to send the filtration straws to Haiti. I will keep you posted as we are at about $500 into our challenge!!
