Cow dung to clean water!

I stumbled onto this blog tonight which was awesome. Its about a guy named Shawn who is a 27 year old Canadian from Toronto. He says on his blog "My life took a turn after I met Dr. Jeffrey Sachs (author of the book "The End of Poverty") when he came to give a speech at Notre Dame. That speech inspired me to withdraw from grad school, liquidate my savings, and begin this journey to try and make the world a better place - one meaningful difference at a time".

He basically takes this trip to Bangladesh and shares his experience on You Tube to inspire others. He is a bit rough around the edges, check it out and hear what he has to say. Its very powerful!
