Wine To Water

Message from Doc:

Hey y'all, I haven't sent a request like this out in a long time, but I'm just not sure what else to do at this point. Our water filter inventory is extremely low. We were hoping to build our numbers back up before this year's hurricane season hit, but now we need to make and send as many filters as we can to Venezuela for the survivors of the earthquake. The crisis there has been devastating for millions of families.

Wine To Water began making its own water filters 2 years ago just before Helene hit WNC. Our hope was to build enough inventory to have on hand for any disasters that hit, as well as have enough for our ongoing programs, but it seems like there has been one major disaster after another (Helene, Jamaica Hurricane last year, and now the Venezuela Earthquakes). We just haven't been able to keep up.

Would you consider sponsoring a filter, or a number of filters, so we can send as many as possible to Venezuela? And most importantly, will y'all please pray for safety for our team as they are down in Venezuela now trying to help these hurting families that have lost everything. Sponsor a filter here: give.wtw.org/venezuela $65 sponsors one filter which will last a minimum of 10 years for a family.

PS. If you, your family, church or company would like to host a WTW Filter Build® Event, please comment below or send us a message. It's another great and fun way to build our filter inventory.

Thank y'all so much,
Doc

Water Filter build and team meeting today!
We will be bringing water filters to the community we will be working in…imagine not having clean drinking water & having to drink water that makes you sick and could even kill you?
Yea…that’s why we are doing what we are doing. Everyone deserves clean, safe drinking water and the chance to live.
We’re partnering with Wine To Water to make this happen!
Can’t wait to share this gift that we take for granted with our brothers and sisters in Guatemala! 🇬🇹
T-minus 63 days!

Working across teams, locations and time zones is part of our everyday reality at Lufthansa Systems. 🌍  Recently, colleagues from Frankfurt, Zurich, Gdansk, New Jersey and Bengaluru came together virtually for a cross-location get-together centered around collaboration and shared purpose. Over the past year, teams across our global locations shared inspiring collaboration stories as part of the People OKR and an internal initiative focused on teamwork beyond borders & functions. Four teams especially stood out with their collaborative approaches.

A special part of the late afternoon was a joint activity with the NGO Wine To Water, which supports communities worldwide with access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene. Connected virtually across locations, colleagues built water filters together that will support communities with limited access to clean drinking water. 💧 The exchange showed once again that collaboration is strongest when people work towards a common goal. 🤝 Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to this meaningful cross-location exchange.
