Jesse and I have had the honor, and privilege, to be invited to photograph The Thirst Project’s Annual Gala for the past couple years. It is a huge event to raise money and awareness to the global water crisis.
At last years gala event, we learned a lot more about the global water crisis and what The Thirst Project does, and we were both deeply moved and inspired. We want to help. So, for 2013 (and hopefully beyond) we will make a personal donation of $1000 for each wedding we book to The Thirst Project. We are praying that we can get enough funds together to build at least one well (ranging from $6,000-$15,000), and have that well named after all our couples who helped make it happen.
