Dear Readers
Did you know - for the first time, the UN Human Rights Council recognised the right to water and sanitation?
"Access to safe water is a fundamental human need and therefore a basic human right." Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary-General.

I had an idea to produce a small booklet of poems with the goal of raising money for people suffering from the aftermath of flood disasters. But, I was not sure how to go about it. I am deeply indebted to a writer Ruth Carr who steered and guided me and the result is this booklet 'Water Collection 1'. Sitting in the comfort of my home in UK, reading and watching in the media - horrific images of floods, tsunami and mud slides, gave me the impetus to write poems in response. I donated six of my poems and the money towards the cost of printing this booklet. Proceeds from this booklet is channelled to projects that help provide clean water.
This booklet is also donated to charities to help them raise money for clean water.
This is my first 'water collection 1' poem.
Elixir
You give me strength
You are
The elixir of my life
H2O, my H2O.

This little booklet costs £2.95. It has six poems and six quiz questions with answers. One hundred per cent of the money goes to projects supporting clean water. Thanks to all the people, including my friends and family, who have supported it so far, and has donated more than the cost price.
Here is a small list of people who have supported my 'Water collection 1', some wish to remain anonymous.
