seriously, i’d rather have power interruptions than not having water at all. I remember we had this terrible water shortage last year. It lasted for almost one month. According to the officials involved, they were repairing the water systems and may time some time testing the water for cleanliness and readiness for safety usage. It was ridiculously terrible having a very limited supply of clean water, like you would really understand the importance of saving water for future uses..

That is great Samuel — Cisco employees are encouraged to volunteer often, too, and many of us do!

Thanks for the comment Jason. Agreed, it is shocking, and water is something many of us take for granted.

Here in Brazil we have many people who are unaware of the lack of water for many. We promote all possible means in this problem. Great article!

1.1 billion people is a truly shocking statistic. It’s so sad when you think of all the water that we waste everyday. It really puts things into perspective.

Those are some shocking statistics. Ever since I was a kid my parents encouraged doing some form of active charity work (visiting shelters and physically donating / volunteer work of sorts) for one special day a year. Birthday / Christmas, just something.
