charity:water wristbands for sale

Hello everyone!

My campaign Stefi for india reached $1,412 which means 31 people in India will get access to clean safe drinking water. I realized I do have some wristbands left (8 to be more specific). I got them while I was a volunteer at charity:water in NYC.So why not sell them? This way you get something for your money, a reminder you did something good, and the money you give I will all raise for India. How does it sound?

I suggest 5$ which would be around 17 lei. If you feel like giving more though it's ok :)

Friday happiness

I am exhausted. It has been a long week, actually too long but when I look back it has been a great one too. I have accomplished all I had in mind. The campaign video, Romanian version, has been published and reached 176 views, awesome! Facebook page has been launched. People who I didn't get to tell about "Stefi for India" asked about it themselves because of seeing it on Facebook and gave such a great response to it. I feel blessed and I have to say THANK YOU to each one of you who shared the message, either you told a friend or you shared it online, it did make a great impact. 

At this point we reached 100$ which means 2 people will get access to clean, safe drinking water! Isn't it great!? 

The cost for one person to get clean water in India is 45$. This is a bigger sum than in some other countries in Africa where it reaches 20$. The answer to this is in the picture below.

And now I want to send a big THANK YOU to all the donors so far.

Cezara Bratianu, Gabriela Gogu and the Anonymous donor the world needs more people like you! 100% of your money will go directly to the work in India. You will be informed when it starts :D

Have a lovely Friday,

Stefi

My 25th birthday wish - video

Yes. It is here.

Alexandra Soldanescu

Today is another grateful day. I am a really lucky person. To be surrounded by all this great people is just amazing! With a lot of help from Alexandra Soldanescu the first video is ready (there will be another video with the English version).

She is a very creative person and helped me with everything. I just text-ed her on Facebook and asked her if she would be available and she immediately said yes. The day we picked for filming was very windy and

rainy but this didn't stop her. We discussed how it should look like and she perfectly put it into a beautiful 2 minutes which does send my message.

THANK YOU Alexandra cea Minunta  and everyone who is supporting my campaign!

The video explains what my 25th birthday is about and how a little gesture can bring a bigger change. I do believe that water does change everything and I am sure this birthday will help people in India get safe, clean drinking water.

The story behind Stefi for India

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,
Stefi

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,
Stefi

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.

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
