Hi folks, 

I'm a Davis Square resident/grad student volunteering this summer for a local nonprofit organization, Water Centric (www.WaterCentric.org).  Water Centric  works to bring clean water, functional toilets, and hygiene education to kids living in slums in India through their elementary schools.  

Remember that scene from Slumdog Millionaire?  Yeah... that's why these kids deserve something better!!

I'd like to invite you -- my neighbors :) -- to Water Centric's bike-a-thon fundraiser, coming up on Sat., July 31.  It will be great fun -- bike-riding, BBQ, raffle, ice cream, Whole Foods goody bags, a petting zoo, and... meeting lots of other social justice-minded folks just like you!

Hope you can make it!
