I was listening to the New Man podcast today on an interview of an ex-pro surfer on how he found his life calling. He ended up traveling to Indonesia right at the time of a tsunami and founded a non-profit saving lives by distributing potable water filter. I was really inspired by his story and will definitely explore working with them to help deliver the filters to coastal communities in needs. Here is his web site, Waves for Water: www.wavesforwater.org. Check it out for your own uplifting.
