Use Lent for WaterAid's Jars of Change project

For Lent, which starts tomorrow, WaterAid has started a little something called Jars of Change. Basically, you order publicity materials and/or use the resources on the website to designate jars, into which members of your group plop the money they've saved by giving something up for Lent. Sworn off cocktails? That's $10 in the jar for each juice you have instead. The donations you collect will then go to fund safe water supply in Rwanda. WaterAid is marketing this appeal toward churches, but really, any group of people can take part.


Effort involved: if you're going to be abstaining during Lent anyway, you may as well motivate yourself and do a little substantive good at the same time. Deprivation will never have felt so good (to non-masochists, anyway).
