A New Way to Help Us Raise Money

We recently joined a website called The Charity Post, this website gives money away to a charity and a member every week. The winning charity is selected by the votes of members. On Sunday, members receive one chance to win for each vote made during the week.

The service is free and we would like all of you to join this new fundraiser to help us win with your votes.

Remember, by voting you could win too!

Please take a minute and visit www.TheCharityPost.com and help us win the weekly prize! Thank you!

	Our vision will be reached in Canada when the following Goals have been achieved: • National drinking water regulations are implemented and enforced, resulting in all aboriginal and non aboriginal communities in Canada having access to truly safe drinking water • The federal government of Canada recognizes at the United Nations that water is a basic human right To give you an idea of the concept behind SDWF Mission, Vision & Goals, it is important to remember that guidelines are just that, whereas Standards or Regulations are enforceable by law. SDWF scientists have recently been asked to advise on water treatment processes in India and Ghana, where all drinking water must meet World Health Organization (WHO) regulations. Ironically Canada's drinking water guidelines do not meet WHO regulations and some provinces, such as SK provincial guidelines are even more lax than our national guidelines. Canada is in fact the only developed country to not have national regulations for drinking water quality. What is more, Canada is the only developed country to repeatedly vote NO at United Nations that water is a basic human right! SDWF is constantly challenged by a great need for financial support, all donations go 100% to our various projects as all administration and operating expenses are carried out by our strong network of volunteers (individuals and corporations). Following is a summary of present projects in need of funding. We invite you to request more detailed information and look forward to working with you.
