Paul Newman's Safe Water Network Is Saving Lives

** OGTV recognizes National Water Quality Month with this story about a celebrity and philanthropist who put his name and energy behind an ongoing effort to provide clean water to distressed communities around the world. **

Do you know how many children suffer every day from water-borne diseases?

1,400 children. Every day.

Today, we honor a well-known figure who committed the later part of his life to reducing that number by providing children around the world with access to safe water. Of course, we're talking about Paul Newman!

Paul's daughter Clea recalls that it was about 8 years before he passed away that her father became engaged with the cause of water access.

"He kept saying, 'everyone's focused on oil, but we can live without oil. We can't live without water,'" Clea recalls of her conversations with her dad.

So in 2006, Paul co-founded the Safe Water Network, an organization with global aims to increase access to safe water in communities devastated by a lack of access. Safe Water Network launched its first field offices in 2008, in Accra, Ghana and New Delhi, India, and started on its work through the establishment of Safe Water Stations, which the organization would turn over to the local communities to manage and own, empowering them to control their destinies with the assistance of a reliable water source.

The positive impact of access to clean water, facilitated by Safe Water Network, means improved health and flourishing local initiatives in so many of the communities where the organization has pitched in. In our original video feature on Safe Water Network, hear from CEO Kurt Soderlund, Senior Vice President Amanda Gimble, and other water experts about the miraculous changes they've witnessed through their work bringing clean water across the world.

"If you can just replicate that over and over again, community by community, with other organizations, the potential of the solution is really significant," noted Amanda Gimble, Senior Vice President of Safe Water Network. "Water is life and you are transforming lives through safe water."

Watch and see their work and the real life impact it is having in hundreds of communities.

Empowering Kids Through Their Cultural Heritage and Their Music

** OGTV is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with this story about an arts program that not only teaches their students musical skills, but also encourages them to be proud of their cultural heritage. **

In a sun-filled church in Stamford, Connecticut, a small group of young students sit with their musical instruments. Among them are many instruments you'd expect to see in a classroom—like violins and guitars—and also several that you may have never seen before, like the South American Charango and a Caribbean steel drum. That would give you your first hint that you're not looking at a standard music class. This is an INTEMPO class.

Helping the “Unhoused” One Shower At A Time

** Watch this OGTV "GOOD STORY" about a woman in San Francisco who figured out a way to repurpose out-of-service buses into showers that provide this critical service to the Unhoused. **

What is universally despised in large, modern, metropolitan areas more than its public transportation, and in particular, the city bus? Slow, crowded, unpleasant – it mostly reminds us of lean times of struggle. However, a creative group of folks from San Francisco have come up with a brilliant idea that repurposes this inner city workhorse, converting it from a people mover to a mobile oasis where unhoused neighbors can seek comfort.
