It started with a simple video I watched on youtube. It was a clip from the Ellen Show. Jaden Smith, Will Smith's son, stopped by on Ellen's birthday to deliver a special gift from his family -- a donation in Ellen's honor to charity: water. The organization will build a well that will provide water to a village for 20 years. And I got so curious and wanted to find out everything about it. I started reading more and more about it online till I decided I wanna become part of this. It did take a while till I really took the decision to make what needs to be done to get closer to this charity. So I released I had to move to New York to actually be able to become a volunteer. Even though it might sound absurd or whatever you think out of a sudden I decided to leave for New York. I have signed up for the work and travel student program and I was trying to figure out where I actually want to go. I was thinking about working at the beach somewhere as a waitress when Alex, the guy at AE (American Experience) called me and told me that there were positions available at the Statue of Liberty in New York city. Then it all started. I got my visa, flew to NYC and applied for the volunteer program. It was very easy and the next Wednesday I was in charity:water's offices. Stephanie Goetz introduced me to everything. That is how it all started but the nice thing is the relationship didn't end. I moved back to Romania and I still got the chance to be part of it. charity:water did send me a jerry can all the way from the States so I could promote World Water Day from my home country.
I tried to sum it all up nice and short. Have a lovely night friends,

Getting the campaign ready.
Today was a busy day.Besides the fact that it was cold and it did rain I feel great. We, me and Alexandra cea minunata, managed to shoot the videos, one in English one in Romanian, in which I present the message of the campaign. It was total fun and I am really grateful I have people around me that support this cause. I'm really excited and I can't wait to see it. I'll leave you with some pictures till the video is launched.
I wish you all a lovely night,

Turning 25
Get ready for a good deed!
My birthday is almost here and I am super excited about it. WHY? Cause this year I am doing something soooooooo different. I choose to not be selfish on my day and to actually be the CHANGE I wanna see in the world. YES there are a lot of gifts I would love to get for my 25th but the idea that my birthday WILL CHANGE LIFES IN INDIA. That is the best way to celebrate 1/4 of my beautiful life.
How can you brighten my day? EASY.

- Share this page on any social media channel you use (Facebook, Twitter etc)
- Spread the word
- Give up a pack of cigarettes or anything and donate
- JUST GIVE, the amount of dollars in my age or less
Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped. YES that is true. I donated before ;)
Last year I quit my sort of nice and lovely job to move to New York, and besides all other plans, to volunteer for this AMAZING charity! When I first saw it I thought it couldn't real. They are the loveliest people! And on top of all the work they do along with the help of volunteers this charity calls many of the donors to wish them "Happy Birthday" or sends them hand written thank you cards.
What?!
Please donate whatever you can. Everything, big or small, helps. Please *puppy beautiful blue eyes*
We can. We will. Period.
Love,
Stefi
