Michael Londra is an Irish singer who performs around the world and now lives in New York. With the help of Concern’s American office, Michael went to Haiti to see some of the work being done there. He visited a number of Concern projects, which mostly focus on providing communities with clean, safe drinking water.

Michael didn’t only visit the projects though; he also tried to live the daily life of the locals. He experienced what it is like to walk many miles to and from the nearest water pump, carrying heavy water cans in intense heat. How did he get on? Watch the video below to find out, and to see how a Haitian member of Concern’s staff fared when he returned with Michael to America.

When the problems of the world seem so big, it's empowering to know that the completely doable act of helping people simply get fresh water in their village can make the world of difference! Thank you for this film.
