"something more powerful"


Recently I watched an MTV special called Summit on the Summit.
It's about a group of people who climb Mount Kilimanjaro,
the highest mountain in Africa, to raise money and awareness
about Africa's desperate need for clean water.
The documentary focuses on six climbers who are musical artists or
actors, including Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch, and Lupe Fiasco.
It also shows you how clean water
can completely change how Africans live.
It's so crazy because it takes the climbers 8 days
to climb up and only one day to climb down.
They have a hard time because of the extremely
high altitude and the cold temperature.
One of the guides even said that it could get cold enough
to freeze their corneas!
Anyways, watching this reminded me why I got interested in the
Economic Development major and gets me excited about
how things can change in the future.
I suggest you watch it.
always love,
