Some Students from Case Western Reserve Medical School are making Clean Water

for the third world a sustainable project.



CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -
A Case Western Reserve medical student is part of a group taking aim at a deadly global issue, an appalling lack of clean water.

Adam Tabbaa is a first year medical student at Case and his group, The Pure Water Access Project, is trying to make clean water a way of life worldwide.

Seven hundred and eighty million people all over the world lack access to clean water and people are dying, "It's hard to fathom that you're forced to give your child dirty water that more than likely will be getting them sick and potentially could be killing them," said Tabbaa.

I really detest this station for news because it's all in your face and self promoting, but it's the only 4:00 - 5:00 news and there is winter storm heading our way.

I was pleasently surprised by them for featuring this story.

We take our clean water for granted, mostly, and we forget how many millions don't have it.
