 Rachel Beckwith’s Mom Visits Ethiopia

On July 23, 2011, nine-year-old Rachel Beckwith was killed in a tragic car accident. After her death, thousands of people all around the world donated to her mycharity: water fundraising page, and over the course of a month, raised over $1.2 million in Rachel’s honor. That money is now helping 37,770 people get access to clean water. In honor of the anniversary of Rachel’s death, Rachel’s mom, Samantha, and her grandparents, Richard and Roseanne, visit Ethiopia with charity: water to meet some of the people Rachel helped.
