Lifesaver

On Wednesday we watched four videos and only one of those really caught my attention. The guy who invented the lifesaver was my favorite video. His idea is genius and has the potential to save millions of lives and stop spreading diseases. It's sad to think that something as simple as water is one of the leading threats in the world. The Lifesaver is such a simple fiix but yet it took this long to come up with this. It also saves on water bottles which is another benefit to the environment. I know he said they only cost $25 but I was curious if the government is actually issuing these to other countries instead of shipping over water. I was also curious and how they decide who gets them. Do people in other countries only get access to these when a natural disaster occurs? Because their water is dirty all year round. I'm interested to know if there's a fund to donate to in order to help give everyone access to this amazing problem solver.
