Oil 4 Water

George Lewis, The WaterMan, creates beautiful works of art that have been shipped all over the world to provide funds for improving the conditions of life all over. Enjoy floral landscapes, seascapes, boats, homes painted by this octogenarian. His paintings have produced millions of dollars worth of wells, water filters, toilets, and polio vaccines for over two million people. One-third of the people on this planet have no access to sanitary facilities and one-third of all schools have not clean water. One in ten people do not have clean water for food or washing. We have brought polio down to 0.01 of the population. Most developed countries have forgotten the scourge of paralysis and death caused by this disease. Prevention is our only recourse and we are so very close to accomplishing this goal.
