Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show.

Would you consider yourself smart, insightful, precocious, astute, clever, wise beyond your years,

and good at checking a cesesaurus for synonyms.

Well, then you've come to the right place.

Here now is the handsome, attractive, striking, gorgeous, and quite frankly, breathtaking,

Eric Mat, Texas!

Hey there, folks, welcome back.

As you know, right now, we're doing our annual campaign with food for the poor. They are heroes. They are feeding hungry children. They're getting clean drinking water to people who do not have that. Try to imagine that. It's hard for us sometimes to imagine that. So I thought maybe if I bring on somebody

from Food for the Poor, she could help us. Anitara, Parmali, is my guest. Anita, welcome.

Thank you so much for having me, and you're exactly right. It's hard when for us,

water, somebody challenged me and said, can you count the ways that you could get drinkable water just within a couple steps?

I mean, I'm in South Florida.

So with hurricanes, I know I could literally drink from my toilet tank if necessary.

So the tub, the ice maker of my refrigerator, the faucets, the gardens picket outside.

All of them provide me access to water.

But when you travel to Guatemala, Honduras, Haiti, you recognize that that is not the reality for so many of these families.

Water is muddy and bacteria infested. it's also often a mile walk away.

I mean, these young girls and usually women are traveling hours every day just to carry water that

they know is going to make them sick, but they have no alternative until you,

your gift is going to change that.

I mean, again, I have to say, folks, I hope this pulls at your heartstrings because this is,

it's real.
