WHY IS THIS WOMAN SO HAPPY??

Why is this woman so happy? Please play a little imagination game with me. Imagine that you are this woman and you have enjoyed having the water filter from SNET for long enough to experience that your children are not getting sick anymore, nor you husband and his aged mother that lives with you. And, remember when you and the children were sick at the same time and the grandmother needed lots of attention, and you had no energy but had to keep going and you were worried because sometimes the children die from the "bad watersickness." Sometimes you were desperate because there was nothing you could do. The smile she has is because she has a very reliable, low maintenance, no cost water filter. See how the woman loves the filter, has organized it in her home and she’s made a stand for the water bucket - - she tells us she is very pleased, her family is much healthier now and her children are doing better in school. Clean, healthy water is just absolutely necessary - - something we are so lucky to be able to take for granted. There are many women like this one who have received free water filters from SNET and who tell us what a great change it has made in their family’s lives.

Now let’s play another imagination game - - one that is grim and difficult but has a happy ending. Now we imagine that we are a woman with a family living in the rural tribal areas of India. We don’t have reliable clean healthy water. Our children are often sick. The grandmother is also struggling with intestinal/digestion problems and you are feeling weak yourself. You don’t know what to do. You don’t have transportation to a doctor and you couldn’t afford to pay him if you did. The folk remedies are not working, and you are afraid it might be one of your children that dies this time. Maybe you have already experienced one of your children dying from diarrhea. Oh, this is an unhappy game and I think I want to escape and not think about it. But wait! There might be a happy ending that you will love to experience.

Here it is - - it’s so simple. You hear a noisy vehicle outside. It’s a little blue diesel 3 wheel cargo truck from SNET bringing water filters to your village, and because your family has sickness now, you are getting one. The delivery team begins first to educate you about how sickness comes from dirty water full of pathogens. You have never seen a microscope or the little bad guys in the water, but you have seen the little wiggly worms. You learn about how this bio-sand water filter takes the “sickness bugs” out of the water, and how your family was being infected day after day by these pathogens in the water. Hey, you don’t care how it works - - about the multiple layers of sand and the biological film of beneficial organisms that “eat” the bad bugs - - you just want it to work - - You just want a well and energetic family. Well , wow, happy ending eh? And it’s all, of course because you gave the water filter which cost you so little compared to the great feeling in your heart as you open the refrigerator door and again see the Generous, Loving Human Being certificate you received by email from SNET which you have taped to the refrigerator door - - it warms your heart to know that you are being such a great blessing day after day to this family and the other villagers that come to them for water.

You haven’t really missed the small amount it cost you and you are daily comforted to know that you are helping every single day. That’s why the Mother is happy - - the Mother you are helping. Don’t even hesitate - - you might start to think your way out of being of great benefit and lose out on the day by day happiness of being an even more Generous, Loving Human Being.
