Give Water: A Tumbling4Good Action
We started with a small goal of $100, and we are nearly there in less then 24 hours. Just $35 more to go. Can you give?
Our water projects manager Becky Straw just returned from Northern Uganda, where it all started for charity: water. In 2006, donors funded the first set of wells in a refugee camp that desperately needed clean water. Today, with your help, we have 94 projects in Uganda serving people with clean water. Our friend and photographer Esther Havens took some amazing portraits and got to meet the people we’ve served.
See the photo captions for a glimpse of everyday life - the story from this trip is coming soon.

Turns out plenty of other people think this is a great idea too. Here are some folks at the Weatherspoon Museum
Tumbling4Good Action #2: Donate Blood Did you know “Currently only 3 out of every 100 people in America donate blood.” And I don’t think that many people are afraid of needles. The reality is that we don’t make time for it. I should have donated last November, but didn’t get around to it until May. Now I’m making sure it’s on my calendar so I can donate again. Here’s a shot my arm, and my nice pint of blood sitting on the table. Now, if that doesn’t make you queasy, then it’s time for you to make an appointment.
- Go to http://www.givelife.org
- Make your appointment and go to it.
- Post a picture of your pint of blood (and for the competitive types, how long it took to fill it) and give the link to your post in the answers below so I can reblog it.
- Oh, and reblog this post.
What are you waiting for?
My Tumbling4Good first action story…
So, I decided to take the initiative since I was asking others to and made a little sign and headed out to the park to participate in action #1. Nothing more then a cardboard sign, but it was doing it that was the point, so I just went for it.
Unfortunately, when I got to the park, maybe cause of the weather or something, there was nobody there, no one except kids at the playground. I figured that would be a little creepy and decided to make my way to another park or bus stop to continue the experiment, but I snapped the picture above just before leaving, just so I had some evidence. On my way to the next stop is when my story gets started.
I was cruising on my bike, just half a block from my house when I hear a women scream and come dashing out of her house. She looks down and then starts yelling toward the upstairs window, “your boy just fell out of the window!” seeing the open window with the screen pushed out, I jump off my bike and hurry to the front yard, dialing 911 as I come over. I hand the lady, who appears to be the downstairs neighbor, my phone to talk to 911 and direct them to the house. And I knelt down beside this young boy, about three and a half years old, lying on his back crying hysterically. I tried to comfort him and make sure he didn’t move, and waited for what seemed like forever (probably a minute) for the parents to come down from the upstairs apartment and come to the boys side. Then I waited at the street to flag down the fire truck when it arrived. I decided to skip the park and just go home after that. I found out later the boy was miraculously fine, no broken bones, bleeding or anything.
And that’s my story. I guess the moral I take away is that putting yourself out there to ‘talk’ about anything, opens you to be present to others in all sorts of situations. This just happened to be the one I biked into.
What’s your story?
