Henry is a member of our community trying to help his local communities to have better living conditions. Please help them have clean water & contribute if you can. I am! DM me proof of donations $5 or over, and your (physical) address & I will mail you a cool sticker! 👀
My friend Henry Reider in Sierra Leone is organizing a gofundme to bring wells to impoverished neighborhoods in Freetown. It's a great project that will benefit the health in his community. I hope you can join me in supporting it.
