I actually learned about the need not only for clean water but for good sanitation and hygiene first hand with Blood Water Mission in Uganda.

Wally gets to take his family to Indonesia to meet Novani, the Compassion girl they've sponsored for 5 years.

And while you might not be able to go on this trip, there is something you and your kids can do to show the kids of Indonesia a little love.

So make as many bracelets as you want and send them before January 7th to:
