Water is Life!

PUBLISHED: SEP 19TH, 2023

Ciao Wellness Friend, 

I hope this email finds you doing well!

A while back I saw on Instagram that Oprah Winfrey had come to Rome and more specifically, she had gone to a city called Fiuggi where the water is said to be healing. This City is famous since the Medieval ages and even Picasso is rumored to have visited.

While Oprah Winfrey stayed in the most luxurious resort (Palazzo Fiuggi), I went to the Fiuggi Terme (a community center with water fountains and a walking trail) as a quick day trip as it's less than one hour away from Rome.

My husband and I visited the Terme to explore and drink the water. While there, we pondered on the privilege we have to have access to clean water!

Did you know that approximately 844 million people lack access to drinking water and 2.3 billion do not have access to latrines or other basic sanitation facilities (Unicef.org)? This sounds mind boggling and maddening!

Researching how to get involved and add our own grain of sand (insert: read last week's Newsletter) I found this list of the 10 Best Charities for water.  

Don't know which to choose, a friend of mine has researched and partnered with Charity:Water.

In case you haven't already, I highly recommend watching this film: Erin Brockovich!

It's our responsibility as individuals to find out if the quality of the water we have access to is safe to drink. In the US, you can research your water quality by zip code here! You can read much more on the EPA's website! In Italy, you can read more about water quality on the Ministero della Salute's website!
