My Dad's Trip Overseas

My dad (Ed) is joining up with some family friends (David and Larelle Catherman) and traveling to Vietnam for a couple weeks. They are involved with a company called Medrix.

Every 3 seconds, one child dies from the lack of safe drinking water (Source: Unicef/WHO Water for Life, Making it Happen 2005).

In 2004, 2.2 million deaths worldwide were attributed to unsafe drinking water; nine out of those ten were children under 5 years of age (Source: Wateraid, 2005).

1.1 billion people (about 20% of the world's population lack access to safe drinking water.

And Medrix has come up with a wonderful solution!

Using UV technology, they have devised a water-treament system that is safe, affordable and teachable in foreign countries. Right now, Medrix being tested in Vietnam and that is where my dad and their team are traveling to.

Please pray for safe travel for all...... please pray for good communication and relations with the local Vietamese people. And also, please pray that no one comes into contact w/ the poultry :-)

Thank you all and please do visit the website for Medrix! I found it quite interesting.....
