It would be great if not only Haiti, but other countries with lack of fresh water were able to get their hands on these Hippo-Rollers. Right now they use jugs but how long will a couple jugs of water last before they have to walk miles again to get a little more water?

...I've read about these before first showing up in parts of Africa where getting daily drinking water is a day-long, backbreaking chore. it's sad it's needed, but what a brilliant innovation

@Lag, they are trying to get them out to Hait but so far can send very few in comparison to how many they need. Each one cost 100 dollars. Lets hope more people have this available to them.

@Adriana: it should remind us of how blessed we are. If we want clean, drinkable water, we turn on a faucet in our homes. in many parts of the world, it's a multi-hour chore to collect enough water for a few days.

@Lag, you are so right. I come from a third world country myself, so the blessings hit me in the face every day. I am so grateful!
