Ok, I'm a little late in reporting this (AP exams will do that...), but the news is well worth the wait :)
HUMANKIND WATER WON 1ST PLACE!!! :D
Thank you so much everyone who voted! You can expect to find HumanKind Water on Walmart's shelves sometime later this year. Together we have made a tremendous difference and have saved 1,000's of lives... but don't just stop here. Find something else you can do and DO IT! :)
Thanks again!

10,000
This is how many children die every day just because they don't have access to clean drinking water. Some call this the biggest physical problem today...
5 Minutes
This is how much time it would take each day for you to help save 1,000's of lives.
How???
I'm glad you asked! Walmart is running a nationwide contest where consumers vote to determine which of over 4,000 products will be placed on Walmart's shelves. "Humankind Water" is a product in this competition, but unlike the other products "Humankind Water" isn't in this for a profit. All of HkW's net-profits are donated to helping dig wells, providing water filters, and other ways to help end thirst-related deaths.
Here's where you come into the picture (and your 5 minutes of time). HkW needs our votes in order to win! You can vote via texting, facebook, and a bunch of other easy ways! Easy, right? Better yet, you can vote 2 times each day! HkW is aiming for 1 million votes so they need all the help they can get. If you vote every day, and even get your friends involved, you can help HkW win and ultimately save 1,000's of lives! Not a bad way to spend those 5 minutes, eh?
So, to start voting and saving lives you can:
A) Go to http://humankindwater.org/ where you can vote and learn more about Humankind Water and their mission
B) Text HKW to #50500. This will not vote, but it will tell you how to vote and will remind you daily to vote.
C) Facebook, facebook, facebook... need I say more? ;) Go and like them!
D) TELL OTHERS!!! The more the merrier. Walmart's rules allow this :) In fact, they encourage this!
So, now that you know about this cause, why wouldn't you put aside 5 minutes each day to make a difference??? It's quick, easy, and for a very good cause! Please, help save lives and put "Humankind Water" on the shelves!
"Humankind Water (tm). Refreshing for you. Life saving for them."
