Pees! Poos! Three Cheers for Loos! To-morrow is World Toilet Day

	SEND AN E-CARD FOR WORLD TOILET DAY, NOV. 19 World Toilet Day is one of our favorite holidays, and it is this Saturday.  With 2.6 Billion people in the world lacking a toilet, World Toilet Day  helps to raise awareness and also gets us all thinking about innovative ways  to tackle the problem. At Water For People for example, we are working with local entrepreneurs  in Cuchumuela, Bolivia to support urine-diverting toilets, not as a giveaway,  but as a long-term business idea. Here’s why it’s working: The area’s  Monterrey pines are a perfect home for a mushroom called a bolete. This  isn’t just any mushroom — a family in Cuchumuela can earn about $800 (US)  per year from mushroom sales.  More mushrooms require more pines. And pines thrive off of fertilizer from  urine-diverting toilets. Now there’s demand for the toilets and income revenue  to boot! Help spread the word about World Toilet Day and send a great E-card.  Send up to 19 at a time and remind everyone about this important day. So let's hear it: Pees! Poos! Three Cheers for Loos!  Send an E-Card TWO HUGE SUCCESSES POWERED BY YOU We just tallied the numbers for the Donate to Drink $2 Million Challenge,  where several generous donors put up $1 Million of their money and challenged  you, our supporters to raise the other million.
