Raindrops
are precious jewels of nourishment for the earth. Like humans, each is unique while simultaneously part of a
greater whole. Water is the
most vital resource and a basic necessity for all of life. Yet in many developing countries, poor rural communities
don’t have the luxury of having a clean water system to sustain their
communities.
The
intention of the Raindrops
Project is to
affirm how precious every drop of water really is.
Like jewels, these unique hand-blown glass raindrops, adorned with
dichroic mosaic, reflect a life-giving vitality into their environment.
Using design concepts reflecting, water, fire, earth and air each
drop is a one of a kind creation and signed by the artist.
10%
of the sale of each of the precious drops will be donated directly to
Global Water, an international non-profit organization founded in 1982
whose focus is creating safe water supplies, sanitation and
hygiene-related facilities for rural villagers in developing countries.
These projects have an immediate and life-changing impact, especially for
the women and children who have the responsibility of gathering water for
their families every day of their lives. As Global Water is a
volunteer-based organization, virtually all contributions made to the
organization go directly into water projects implemented by non-profit
organizations in the respective developing countries.
Please enjoy them knowing your contribution has helped a great deal somewhere in the world!
