Guest Post: Announcing Project Purus!

Authored by Garrett Wilkinson, a Senior at Buhler High School.

Project Purus is something I have co-founded with [Aaron Brzowski], a friend of mine. We are working to provide clean water for children of the SAV school in Nepal through The Open World Project (something everyone should also check out). The water that comes from their taps is often contaminated with multiple bacterial, protozoal and viral water borne diseases. This is causing the children of the school to become sick, forcing them to miss school. We have already sent three water filters to the SAV school. Each filter will provide at least one million gallons of pure water. Attached are pictures of the children of the SAV school using the first filters we provided.

Thanks for taking the time to hear what I have to say! If you're interested, give Project Purus a like and/or message me to learn more.
