I saw the ad was 20 minutes long and thought: "Who on earth would think it was good to pay for such a long ad? Not effective." ... 20 minutes later, I'm here writing that I am truly touched. I cried.
Bawling my eyes out right now. Ending my Tinder Gold and Sleep Cycle subscriptions and replacing them by joining The Spring. Count your blessings, find something to cut, and do the same. God bless the men and women bringing this light into the world.
Wise choice my friend. Did you know those sleep aps are just estimating at best? Unless you are in a lab hooked up to wires and monitored by another human, there is no way a phone can tell what phase of sleep your in. Don't get me wrong, phones are however very good at making phone calls! I will charge you half the cost and I will tell you about your sleep and I will do it from thousands of miles away the next time you choose to sign up.......
Agree! First time I saw it, it affected me, in a good way, water, its something that all of us have always had, never really gave it much thought, until I saw this, best presentation I've ever seen, I joined The Spring over a year ago
The first time I heard of charity water I was sad 😢 that I didn't have enough money to help but I am saving my money and planing on donating my 11 birthday to raise money and I plan on spreading the word about charity water, the first time I wached this video it was just an ad, but I'm glad I didn't skip the ad , because it was so sad I cried, but I stoped crying and counted all my money but I only have $2 but I told my self that I would save up my money and give it to charity water.
You are a great kid, so full of empathy and a desire to help others in need. Maybe you could show your parents the video, explain how important it is to you, and ask them to donate - or ask if you can do chores for money you can donate. You’ll need their help anyways since the website requires you to be 16 years old to make a donation (I just set up a monthly donation and they make you check a box verifying you’re 16 or over), and to pay with a credit card or Paypal account. Even if you can’t donate money, you can make a very valuable contribution raising awareness for the cause, on social media and elsewhere. Stay kind.
Never EVER watched an auto ad video all the way through before. Ever. Watched this twice. Will be donating and will be spreading it to everyone I know. And to all the people I saw on this video, doing their part, you are what humanity should be. So much respect to you all.
Thank you! I grow up in africa driving awe full water. The boys that live to be 5 years old were lucky. Girls died too but mostly boys. Somehow I made it and even went all the way to America. This lucky girl supports this movement with all her heart. Thanks for supporting a cause bigger that you ❤
I have been donating every month for 6 years and have watched this video so many times and it makes me cry every time. I tell everyone I can about it. Thanks for joining the team. I lived a summer without water 40 years ago when my well went dry and it gives you a new perspective of how lucky most of us are to have water 💦. I have said that of all the things we do wrong to our planet that running out of water will be our demise. So I help to bring water and pray for the rains to keep coming 🙏❤
@@ivanasukjadic1423Probably for the same reason I'm still crying after watching the entire ad that interrupted an already moving RUclips video and had me already donate and come back to read the comments. Because of the initial story of Scott's mom's illness and how it altered his entire childhood and future, how he became financially prosperous while becoming morally bankrupt, how he came to that realization and decided to completely turn his life around, how he ended up having to actually pay a charity to be able to intern for them, how his heart was deeply touched when he met the wonderful doctor on the ship and the desperate people he had been helping for nearly 30 years, how he explored the more rural areas where he was and witnessed the horribly deadly conditions of the water and the peoples' struggle to transport it, how he was determined to do something about it, how he got people to donate to his cause by doing what he did best; having a rave, how he had the ingenuity and creativity to develop the tools and communications back to those who initially donated at the rave in order to encourage them to keep giving and spread the word, how the sweet, bighearted nine-year-old girl tried in vain to raise $300 for clean water for people in other parts of the world, how she was killed not long afterward in a tragic automobile accident, how her death brought the charity to the attention of the entire world that caused it to grow exponentially, how her family traveled to a remote jungle area where the grateful people had erected a crude shrine in her honor at their new well and broke down with their own gratitude for honoring their family member in such a way, and for the continued success of the charity. While your comment that this video was positive is accurate, Rebekah didn't say she was bawling her eyes out because she was sad. Many times people like she and I (and I'm sure many others commenting here) bawl our eyes out not because we are sad, but because our hearts are filled with such intense joy when we see or hear something that moves us in a positive way that we are moved to tears. In fact, the video that I was watching when this ad came up was just speaking to that very idea. The speaker was expressing how when he looks up into the night sky he is filled with awe, and also that music can make us feel something similarly intangible that causes us to dance and/or sing with the rhythm. And along with everything else that exuded excellence in this ad, I am certain without a doubt that the music had a huge impact on how it reached deep into the hearts of everyone who watched it, whether on a conscious level or subliminally. There is a reason that music is referred to as the universal language. It is because it speaks to the heart, where no words are necessary. So, I hope that this answers the question that you posed to Rebekah, and that I have not spoken for her out of turn, but that at least some of the reasons that I stated for this video touching MY heart, are some of hers as well. God bless you.
This video changed my life. I was addicted to alcohol, caffeine and nicotine. Heavily. Was partying, fighting, just going completely off the wall. And it was killing me. Then I saw this, it woke me up and inspired me to change. To help people rather than just live my life for myself. I'm still on my journey but I am now two years sober, healthier and much happier. I am eternally grateful to Scott and anyone else who shares their turn around story. For people who were in the position I was in, you can turn your life around. You can. You can start by forgiving yourself and know that other people just like you have changed. This isn't the only way.
This is the first time I watch a full ad! And this was almost 20 minutes!! This is also the first ad that touches my heart and made me help with the cause. God bless this beautiful organization!!!!!
I nearly cried watching this as an ad. I never thought I would watch through a 20' long ad. Despite being a student, I'll register for something as small as £15/month for charity donations. You guys are working hard for a great cause! Well done!
I just watched this video. It brought me to tears. I am a low income, older college student. Last semester I wrote a paper on how to bring clean water to countries that have no way to get clean water to drink and to water crops. This video spoke volumes to me. I want to do something that can bring awareness too this issue. How might I do that? Thank you for all your organization does to help people. God bless you!!!!
Tell all of your friends about Charity Water and ask them to support the organization. That’s what I’m doing! Maybe you could go to work for Charity Water. Maybe I could, too! 🤩👍
today, I got a very generous raise from my company. I was overwhelmed with excitement and gratitude, especially during a time when so many people are struggling. I wanted to celebrate by doing something good and I found this ad. I watched every second and it hit me hard. I am now a monthly donor. So many of us want to do something good but don't know how. Organizations like you not only make a difference to the ones you serve but also give us all an opportunity to give back. Thank you saving people.
This is a beautiful and honest advertisement. I can't wait to support this with my music and art in the future (full time). I believe the whole world can drink clean water. Praise God for your testimony and how incredible this organization is.
My wife and I gave up our birthdays for Charity Water 10 years ago .... and haven't done so since. Just watched this video in it's entirety on a RUclips ad and have so say...wow...heartbreaking and inspiring. After I wiped the tears from my eyes, I went and setup my "The Spring" subscription. And going forward, every birthday and Christmas for me (and our kids) will be donated to this charity. Amazing job telling this story by the Charity Water team.
Psalm 41:1-2 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies
Two years ago I started monthly donations to Charity Water but after 18 months I had to change my credit card and I did not realize that Charity Water had dropped off. I just saw your new video and checked my bank statement for the date I started and was surprised I had not made my donation in 6 months. So I’m joining you again to be a part of your amazing dream to change the lives and health of so many wonderful people. 0:44 Seeing their smiles at the running clean water… something I’ve alway taken for granted…brought tears . Thank you for making this happen.
Coming across this the night before my exam for med school... Such a timely reminder for the the things which are important. Never thought I’d be so moved and encouraged by a RUclips ad. Thank you for sharing your story!
Wow! I thank God that I didn't click this ad too for I needed to hear this man's story!!!!!!! It was heart breaking that his mother being the only child and young had been really sick at the time but his story has touched my heart and God knows I needed to hear it. It has blessed me. It's amazing how God can use someone that was out there doing other things going the wrong way to serve others and help them. I think he has found his calling. Love the story!!! May God bless this man and all those who have given and those who wants to but can't. Much love to you all.
Never thought i'd ever sit through a full 19 min and 42 second RUclips ad from beginning to end until today, nearly all ads i skip in 5 seconds in a heartbeat but this one i sat through for nearly 20 minutes... wow just wow...
As a member of 'The Spring' for a few months now, whenever I need some inspiration , motivation, or a quick pick-me-up, I watch this video. Share this video with all your friends and family. I post it about once a month and the response is unbelievably positive. Much love to everyone here supporting Charity: Water!
One of the adds I found in my life that changed my way of thinking. I also promise not to wastewater. My Prays would go for you. May Almighty bless everyone with good health.
The way your whole life story unfolds and how it intertwines making it a journey with purpose is like poetry unfolding in front of your eyes. Hope you are blessed with strength and success.
Like so many others I didn’t skip this ad. So deeply moving. I’m not rich by any means, (unemployment is especially difficult during covid 19) but have a roof, food, clothes and clean water amongst other luxuries 🙏🏾 I will be looking into this charity for sure, so many people need our help ✨
I DEFINITELY said, " Oh hell nah...." right as I was about to click next, then you spoke about your mom and I was like...."Oh okay..". Then You and I'm like..."The universe is telling me to become a party promoter?" I'm so glad I didn't click off this. I have so many plans for helping people and this just gave me the boost I needed. Also, wow. Almost 1 billion people with dirty water? Idc how many people want it that way. It's GOING to change. You've helped 11 million? All we need it 60-70 more people like you to decide that Water is their purpose. And we got this.
I am glad I did not skip this ad as well! AMAZING story. It moved my heart. I am grateful that the founder was able to use his story to positively impact the lives of millions. Bringing awareness, intentionally and effectively making change at its best.
OMG!! What wonderful work. I’m already donating. These people are true salt of the earth. You had me bawling here. He’s a great story teller. I was captivated.
I love this so much. He’s completely right. If there was ever a time to bring clean water to every single person on earth, the fortitude of our hearts and the promise of our technology would make it now.
What a wonderful story. Thank You, Scott Harris for demonstrating charity and reclaiming a transformed life. Praise God in your testimony! We are with you in this journey now! For the people.
Sleeping At Last was an amazing choice for this ad. I've been a fan of his for years, and as soon as I heard that first note of "Taste" in tandem with the message, I started crying, and it only progressed from there. I want to give away my birthday for this charity.
Damn I thought I was crying hard at the beginning, but the end has me sobbing. I will be pledging my next birthday too 💜 RIP Rachel and all those who lost their lives due to unclean water 🙏🏾
I am a proud catholic and was so inspired by this ad. I care about our beautiful earth, and love people like you. Keep doing what your doing and God Bless you and your beautiful fmaily.
I usually skip all of the ads I see, even the info ones about charities. But this one stood out to me, it captivated me. His story was inspiring and I love that they are doing things differently. Clean water is something most people take for granted, just like the food we have in our pantries and on our tables. I'm doing a college speech course right now, and one of the speeches I have to do s an informative speech, and I choose food insecurity. So when I saw this ad, and what they are doing I couldn't help but relate it to my speech, to food insecurity and hunger. Some people are living their lives without some basic necessities we take for granted, and I hope this video goes viral. I hope more people see this and realize just like he did.
This has touched me on all different levels! Kudos to you Scott for doing a great job. I'm glad I did not skip the ads, otherwise, I could have missed this beautiful story and mission!
This is a great story! I can’t believe the 42 people that disliked this video! SMH!! This video shows the love we all should have for humanity! All the best to Charity Water!! I’m joining The Spring today!!
During this pandemic my daughter and myself have become really depressed at times. I just showed this to Hannah and we are wanting to do this for Christmas. We all must help those who can't help themselves.
I'm so excited about how your life was changed but even more excited about how you are changing the world with clean water. I will spread the word and help support your organization! You have done an amazing thing! Thank you!
About a year ago, I watched this video as an ad on Facebook, I had to save it in my profile but a few days back, I checked and couldn't find it. Now, I had to come search for it on RUclips and found it. It aligns so much with what I believe my mission here on earth is and touched me so much. Thank you Charity Water... 💖
First time I've ever watched the whole ad on a RUclips video, -- my heart was touched, my sense of integrity was deeply impressed by this company's fervent and awesome transparency, and I'm very happy to be a member of The Spring and pay a monthly fee to contribute to some real, actual good in the world.
Never imagined an ad could touch my heart so profoundly. Here I am, complaining about public transport and about how much it sucks that I'm not getting a raise this year due to covid... seeing stuff like this really openes your eyes. The happy faces of the children playing with the water... it's something so simple but to them it means the world... I'm just in tears... God bless...
I can't believe I just watched a 20 minute video that was an advertisement! But I think that speaks to the heartfelt honesty that is conveyed very effectively through the video. Congrats on that accomplishment, not to mention what appears to be an amazing charity and path through life. You've acquired another donor.
I saw this ad during a sermon and was like “I am NOT watching a 20 minute ad!” 4 minutes in and I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. I cried and immediately went to find out how I can donate. EXCELLENT storytelling. Thank you for this!
I first came across this about 10 months ago. I was in a lesson at school, and after a video, my teacher was called out to do some admin. Auto-play made everyone see some of this ad. I couldn’t hear it over my friends’ loud chatting and had to read the captions, it was like, “Why is no-one paying attention to this?!” It got to all the charity applications getting denied, when my teacher came back in and powered on with the lesson. I kept meaning to try and find it again, but never found the time. Fast-forward to September 2021, when I finally had the intuition to search about for it. Let me tell you, I’m so glad I did. I’m still at school, so I can’t donate myself, but I really want to do something like this when I grow up.
I accidentally skipped the ad and said "Noooo! I need to finish it!!" And I'm glad I finished it. This is beautiful! Thank you for your help and welcoming us to a new open gate we never knew of. Thank you Thank you Thank you! You guys are doing amazing. I'm very proud of everyone who helped with this project. 💕💕🥺
Me, too!!!! I was trying to enlarge my screen. It must have been meant for me to see it because it came back into queue within ten minutes! I forwarded it to a dear friend of mine so that maybe we can spread the word through "share" on RUclips.
What you guys are doing is amazing. I watched the whole ad and then came here. I am so excited to be part of this now. This truly touched my heart, I could not stop watching. Thank you for having created this.
I can honestly say that I stopped donating to these types of (water/well building) charities 20 + years ago, after we found out how financials were distributed (most around 80% to the management pockets!). However, refreshingly, this organisation seems to be extremely genuine, and with 100% of the donations blessing the cause, I have personally become a monthly sponsor and will be setting up an organisational donation opportunity for both our people and our clients. It's so exciting to help others with this basic and essential human need. I'm excited to be involved.
I've watched this a dozen or so times, and it brings tears to my eyes every time, I love Scott and Dr.Jerry, talk about dedication, I joined the spring over a year ago and I think all of you should too
His book, Thirst, and this video, have brought many tears to my eyes. I hope to use the rest of my days serving others in such a powerful way. Amazing.
I can't remember the last time I watched an ad the whole way through. I was cooking in my kitchen when this came on. I stopped to watch, and cried several times. Thank you for your story. And this is an awesome example of the power of storytelling and how ads work! Very inspired. Thank you for all that you've done! And to those that think access to clean water for all "can't be done" - of course it can! And why not go for that?? It's utterly worth moving towards that goal... to say it can't be done is to keep giving power to old systems and disempower ourselves from knowing that more is possible. Pulling together to find new solutions - like they have done here - is how we make it happen!
Thank you for reminding me back how important my job is. I'm a shooter and editor for a charity organization in Malaysia. Currently our country still struggle to fight the pandemic and our movement to provide aid for the local that affected is limited. So, my shooting schedule had been reduced. But I'm so grateful to find and watch this video because it remind me of people out there that need our help and support. So once again I want to thank you...
Watched the ad for this half way before accidentally clicking another video when adjusting my phone. I decided to find the ad and finish it. So glad i did. This is amazing.
The first time in my entire life I watched an add on RUclips from start to finish and it was 20mins long. Of course i cried, sent it to my wife immediately after, of course she cried too. Searched the channel on RUclips,educated myself, subscribed, So willing to support. Easily one of the best videos on RUclips. Wow.
I'm shocked an ad caught held my attention for so long. I ALWAYS skip ads. Watched the whole thing and passed along the URL to FB and directly to friends. *tears down my face* I'm in.
Talk about being grabbed by an ad. This is the first RUclips ad I never clicked off. It’s not an ad it ought to be a ted talk. I will definitely sign up for The Spring and celebrate the rest of my birthdays giving clean water!
This is absolutely touching story. I love the idea that lead the story teller to start charity water. An idea that I always love to do. This world needs people like him who dedicated their life to help others.
I hate ads but, i wasn't sure what i looking but really, my tears fell off after seeing the video. Thanks Scot for your thoughts, energy to share your whole story, felt mixed emotion. Yes yes i am part of the charity, and helping our people drink at least clean water. Big round of applause to you. From Bhutan.
First Time I've ever seen this was an Ad that popped up. And I watched it all the way through. I'm addicted now!! I will spread this as far as I possibly can in this world. This is Extraordinary!!
This came up as an advert while surfing and I watched it all the way through. I was very moved by this story and I’ll do what I can to spread the word. Thank you ❤️
I first watched this video a few years ago on RUclips and It's super emotional and inspiring and really really makes you appreciate everything we have (living in west!) and appreciate people like Scott who are literally changing the world, massive respect to you! It seem that every time I watch this video I'm compelled to Donate, as I just received an email from Charity Water saying ''Thanks for your continued support, you have now donated 3 times''. Can't remember the other times, but such a good cause! 😂😍
One of the few adds that i have ever listened to the end and today even for a second time. It continues to touch me. Thank God for you and the people who help you accomplish this🙏🏽💜
IM SO GLAD I DIDNT SKIP THE ADD THIS MADE ME CRY AND MEN DONT CRY EASILY!! I LOVE THIS MOVEMENT AND AS MY INCOME GROW MY GIVING WILL GROW! THANK YOU SCOTT HARRISON YOUR A GIFT GROM GOD !!!
After starting to feel like this world is full of people that really don’t care, this made me cry but for the right reasons! Seeing people redeemed and helping others is what we all need to do and if everyone did that, what a wonderful world it would be. Thank you for the video and thank you for everything you do. I will share with as many as I can!! Bless you all for your work ❤
Saw this ad on youtube. Usually I ignore ads, but I was cooking, couldn't reacht the "skip ad" button and after a few minutes, I stopped cooking, sat down and cried. I have a 5 year old and I can't imagine the pain and despair of not having clean water. I'm becoming a monthly subscriber to "The Spring" program. 10 bucks a month means clean water for 3 people.
I love how our creators share their burdens with us... allowing us to participate in how they care for their creation. This beautiful vision flows straight from the heart of God. The God who so loved the world that he gave. What these folks are doing is a wonderful testimony to how to live.
This is very touching and impactful, I cried and felt I was there 🥺 It’s wonderful to see people like these doing meaningful. The capacity to relay, it’s something I’ve witnessed from my grandparents; they always gave to church and so many people out there who no1 else would help, so I’ve always admired and have great respect for people like this. I’ve done volunteering work and for me it’s truly gratifying. I might not be able to financially help others but I can invest my time, effort, energy... Hopefully more people understand that we’re all connected somehow and by doing something positive for small that it may be, we can create a better world. I’ll be sharing this with friends and acquaintances who have financial abundance, spread the word on good causes, my small way to contribute.
What a beautiful story of courage, love, life, loss, passion, and humanity. Thank you so much for the man you have become, and in the process for showing us the good in us, if we could only realize the immense potential we all carry around. Hope is very much alive. Yours will be a charity of my choice. God bless you and your good work.
Feel blessed to have come across this ad. It's so touching and inspiring. Keep up the good work and expand the legacy of Rachel beyond generations to come!!❤❤❤❤❤
That is also the first ad i've ever watched - just now . . . . I wonder what posessed me to do that, I also cried, a lot!! I'm considering giving up watching Netflix, and giving the 10 quid a month to The Spring; I've always been passionate about clean water - what's the point if you never actually DO anything . . . Thank you Scott, I love us all, there is so much love in this world
I'm so glad I watched this. I cried watching this. I am going to share this video with my family members. If all the members of my family gave $5 a month for this, that would be $50...$10 a month would be $100...and so on...I love that 100% of donations go to the charity's cause. I believe soon everyone on the planet will have access to clean water.
Every time I watch this video, first I am amazed and amused and astonished at everything that is being said- water conditions, illnesses, the start of this organization- and then i hear about Rachel's story and the story of the girl in another country who died from the water after being sick for two hours and I just start crying.
Who would have thought that by thinking for others will save the lives of others. This is a new next level of work. I would love to join the team, to bring out the next level of love for mankind.
I saw the ad was 20 minutes long and thought: "Who on earth would think it was good to pay for such a long ad? Not effective." ... 20 minutes later, I'm here writing that I am truly touched. I cried.
Same with me
Same here!
me too and I joined up for a monthly donation
Me too
Same here, I watched and cried and donated :)

Bawling my eyes out right now. Ending my Tinder Gold and Sleep Cycle subscriptions and replacing them by joining The Spring.
Count your blessings, find something to cut, and do the same.
God bless the men and women bringing this light into the world.
Wise choice my friend. Did you know those sleep aps are just estimating at best? Unless you are in a lab hooked up to wires and monitored by another human, there is no way a phone can tell what phase of sleep your in. Don't get me wrong, phones are however very good at making phone calls! I will charge you half the cost and I will tell you about your sleep and I will do it from thousands of miles away the next time you choose to sign up.......
Thank God for you
Such an amazing thing to do! I don’t know you, but I’m proud of you. Thank you
Yes exactly
God bless you !! As soon as I can I AM
This is one of the most captivating RUclips adverts I have ever seen. Kudos to this entire movement 👍🏼
Exactly what I wanted to say 🙏 What a story from this guy!
ruclips.net/video/mWxA6UHAe5A5/видео.html
Yup
Honestly..! ⚡
💯
I'm glad I didn't click skip ad. This truly touched my heart. I hope for the best for this initiative 💖💖💖
But this video has over 200k views and less than 10 comments 🤦🏾♀️ I hope more people see and feel this story!
I cried like a baby 🤣🤣 Then I donated.
Holy Heavens, *me too!* *Bows to Universe for (some!) sense...*
Same
Same
best ad ever. period. I've NEVER been captivated like this by a humanitarian cause.
ruclips.net/video/mWxA6UHAe5A5/видео.html
Agree! First time I saw it, it affected me, in a good way, water, its something that all of us have always had, never really gave it much thought, until I saw this, best presentation I've ever seen, I joined The Spring over a year ago
The first time I heard of charity water I was sad 😢 that I didn't have enough money to help but I am saving my money and planing on donating my 11 birthday to raise money and I plan on spreading the word about charity water, the first time I wached this video it was just an ad, but I'm glad I didn't skip the ad , because it was so sad I cried, but I stoped crying and counted all my money but I only have $2 but I told my self that I would save up my money and give it to charity water.

That is awesome of you to do so. I also turned 12 a week ago, and I'm thinking on giving my birthday money to charity. You're a very nice person! :D
ruclips.net/video/mWxA6UHAe5A5/видео.html
You are a great kid, so full of empathy and a desire to help others in need. Maybe you could show your parents the video, explain how important it is to you, and ask them to donate - or ask if you can do chores for money you can donate. You’ll need their help anyways since the website requires you to be 16 years old to make a donation (I just set up a monthly donation and they make you check a box verifying you’re 16 or over), and to pay with a credit card or Paypal account. Even if you can’t donate money, you can make a very valuable contribution raising awareness for the cause, on social media and elsewhere. Stay kind.
Never EVER watched an auto ad video all the way through before. Ever. Watched this twice. Will be donating and will be spreading it to everyone I know. And to all the people I saw on this video, doing their part, you are what humanity should be. So much respect to you all.
Thank you! I grow up in africa driving awe full water. The boys that live to be 5 years old were lucky. Girls died too but mostly boys. Somehow I made it and even went all the way to America. This lucky girl supports this movement with all her heart. Thanks for supporting a cause bigger that you ❤
👏 I will donate!🙏🌍
I have been donating every month for 6 years and have watched this video so many times and it makes me cry every time. I tell everyone I can about it. Thanks for joining the team. I lived a summer without water 40 years ago when my well went dry and it gives you a new perspective of how lucky most of us are to have water 💦. I have said that of all the things we do wrong to our planet that running out of water will be our demise. So I help to bring water and pray for the rains to keep coming 🙏❤
Wasn't really planning on bawling my eyes out tonight but here I am I suppose
ruclips.net/video/mWxA6UHAe5A5/видео.html
I feel disgusted at being able to drink CLEAN water here in the U.S. The world is just.... BROKEN! God bless you for your good work 🙏
Why do you cry? What is so sad about this ad? It's a positive ad.
@@ivanasukjadic1423Probably for the same reason I'm still crying after watching the entire ad that interrupted an already moving RUclips video and had me already donate and come back to read the comments. Because of the initial story of Scott's mom's illness and how it altered his entire childhood and future, how he became financially prosperous while becoming morally bankrupt, how he came to that realization and decided to completely turn his life around, how he ended up having to actually pay a charity to be able to intern for them, how his heart was deeply touched when he met the wonderful doctor on the ship and the desperate people he had been helping for nearly 30 years, how he explored the more rural areas where he was and witnessed the horribly deadly conditions of the water and the peoples' struggle to transport it, how he was determined to do something about it, how he got people to donate to his cause by doing what he did best; having a rave, how he had the ingenuity and creativity to develop the tools and communications back to those who initially donated at the rave in order to encourage them to keep giving and spread the word, how the sweet, bighearted nine-year-old girl tried in vain to raise $300 for clean water for people in other parts of the world, how she was killed not long afterward in a tragic automobile accident, how her death brought the charity to the attention of the entire world that caused it to grow exponentially, how her family traveled to a remote jungle area where the grateful people had erected a crude shrine in her honor at their new well and broke down with their own gratitude for honoring their family member in such a way, and for the continued success of the charity.
While your comment that this video was positive is accurate, Rebekah didn't say she was bawling her eyes out because she was sad. Many times people like she and I (and I'm sure many others commenting here) bawl our eyes out not because we are sad, but because our hearts are filled with such intense joy when we see or hear something that moves us in a positive way that we are moved to tears. In fact, the video that I was watching when this ad came up was just speaking to that very idea. The speaker was expressing how when he looks up into the night sky he is filled with awe, and also that music can make us feel something similarly intangible that causes us to dance and/or sing with the rhythm. And along with everything else that exuded excellence in this ad, I am certain without a doubt that the music had a huge impact on how it reached deep into the hearts of everyone who watched it, whether on a conscious level or subliminally. There is a reason that music is referred to as the universal language. It is because it speaks to the heart, where no words are necessary.
So, I hope that this answers the question that you posed to Rebekah, and that I have not spoken for her out of turn, but that at least some of the reasons that I stated for this video touching MY heart, are some of hers as well. God bless you.
This video changed my life. I was addicted to alcohol, caffeine and nicotine. Heavily. Was partying, fighting, just going completely off the wall. And it was killing me. Then I saw this, it woke me up and inspired me to change. To help people rather than just live my life for myself. I'm still on my journey but I am now two years sober, healthier and much happier. I am eternally grateful to Scott and anyone else who shares their turn around story. For people who were in the position I was in, you can turn your life around. You can. You can start by forgiving yourself and know that other people just like you have changed. This isn't the only way.
Great job changing your life around. 🙏🏽 for you
God is on the move, and has called you to help- well done my friend !!!
Your Love is needed!!!!
This is the first time I watch a full ad! And this was almost 20 minutes!!
This is also the first ad that touches my heart and made me help with the cause. God bless this beautiful organization!!!!!
Epic video. Thank you ❤️
Me too, just watched it again with my husband.

I just watched this video. It brought me to tears. I am a low income, older college student. Last semester I wrote a paper on how to bring clean water to countries that have no way to get clean water to drink and to water crops. This video spoke volumes to me. I want to do something that can bring awareness too this issue. How might I do that? Thank you for all your organization does to help people. God bless you!!!!
I'm sending this to people I know because it is so beautiful. I too am low income and will donate as i can. For now i just help spread the word.

Tell all of your friends about Charity Water and ask them to support the organization. That’s what I’m doing! Maybe you could go to work for Charity Water. Maybe I could, too! 🤩👍
today, I got a very generous raise from my company. I was overwhelmed with excitement and gratitude, especially during a time when so many people are struggling. I wanted to celebrate by doing something good and I found this ad. I watched every second and it hit me hard. I am now a monthly donor. So many of us want to do something good but don't know how. Organizations like you not only make a difference to the ones you serve but also give us all an opportunity to give back. Thank you saving people.
Thank you 🙏🏾
This is a beautiful and honest advertisement. I can't wait to support this with my music and art in the future (full time). I believe the whole world can drink clean water. Praise God for your testimony and how incredible this organization is.
Are you OK
THANKS for inspiring comment. Did you manage to support them?

My wife and I gave up our birthdays for Charity Water 10 years ago .... and haven't done so since. Just watched this video in it's entirety on a RUclips ad and have so say...wow...heartbreaking and inspiring. After I wiped the tears from my eyes, I went and setup my "The Spring" subscription. And going forward, every birthday and Christmas for me (and our kids) will be donated to this charity. Amazing job telling this story by the Charity Water team.
Thank you 🥹

Two years ago I started monthly donations to Charity Water but after 18 months I had to change my credit card and I did not realize that Charity Water had dropped off. I just saw your new video and checked my bank statement for the date I started and was surprised I had not made my donation in 6 months. So I’m joining you again to be a part of your amazing dream to change the lives and health of so many wonderful people. 0:44 Seeing their smiles at the running clean water… something I’ve alway taken for granted…brought tears .
Thank you for making this happen.
Hello Carrol , I also like making donations
Coming across this the night before my exam for med school... Such a timely reminder for the the things which are important. Never thought I’d be so moved and encouraged by a RUclips ad. Thank you for sharing your story!
Did you pass?
Yes please never forget. I've seen many doctors who get lost in the process and money becomes their priority. Never lose that escence.

Wow! I thank God that I didn't click this ad too for I needed to hear this man's story!!!!!!! It was heart breaking that his mother being the only child and young had been really sick at the time but his story has touched my heart and God knows I needed to hear it. It has blessed me. It's amazing how God can use someone that was out there doing other things going the wrong way to serve others and help them. I think he has found his calling. Love the story!!!

Like so many others I didn’t skip this ad. So deeply moving. I’m not rich by any means, (unemployment is especially difficult during covid 19) but have a roof, food, clothes and clean water amongst other luxuries 🙏🏾 I will be looking into this charity for sure, so many people need our help ✨
Selina Begum amen amen praise god
Thank you for sowing the seeds of thought. I will be on to this.
I DEFINITELY said, " Oh hell nah...." right as I was about to click next, then you spoke about your mom and I was like...."Oh okay..". Then You and I'm like..."The universe is telling me to become a party promoter?" I'm so glad I didn't click off this. I have so many plans for helping people and this just gave me the boost I needed. Also, wow. Almost 1 billion people with dirty water? Idc how many people want it that way. It's GOING to change. You've helped 11 million? All we need it 60-70 more people like you to decide that Water is their purpose. And we got this.
God told me don't skip this ad. And I thank the Lord that I listened. Scott has a beautiful story. And it really touched my heart :)
I am glad I did not skip this ad as well! AMAZING story. It moved my heart. I am grateful that the founder was able to use his story to positively impact the lives of millions. Bringing awareness, intentionally and effectively making change at its best.
OMG!! What wonderful work. I’m already donating. These people are true salt of the earth. You had me bawling here. He’s a great story teller. I was captivated.

I saw this as an ad, for some reason I didn't skip, watched the whole thing, and now I'm here watching it again. This is amazing, so many emotions.
I love this so much. He’s completely right. If there was ever a time to bring clean water to every single person on earth, the fortitude of our hearts and the promise of our technology would make it now.

What a wonderful story. Thank You, Scott Harris for demonstrating charity and reclaiming a transformed life. Praise God in your testimony! We are with you in this journey now! For the people.
Sleeping At Last was an amazing choice for this ad. I've been a fan of his for years, and as soon as I heard that first note of "Taste" in tandem with the message, I started crying, and it only progressed from there. I want to give away my birthday for this charity.

Damn I thought I was crying hard at the beginning, but the end has me sobbing. I will be pledging my next birthday too 💜 RIP Rachel and all those who lost their lives due to unclean water 🙏🏾

I usually skip all of the ads I see, even the info ones about charities. But this one stood out to me, it captivated me. His story was inspiring and I love that they are doing things differently. Clean water is something most people take for granted, just like the food we have in our pantries and on our tables. I'm doing a college speech course right now, and one of the speeches I have to do s an informative speech, and I choose food insecurity. So when I saw this ad, and what they are doing I couldn't help but relate it to my speech, to food insecurity and hunger. Some people are living their lives without some basic necessities we take for granted, and I hope this video goes viral. I hope more people see this and realize just like he did.
This has touched me on all different levels! Kudos to you Scott for doing a great job. I'm glad I did not skip the ads, otherwise, I could have missed this beautiful story and mission!

About a year ago, I watched this video as an ad on Facebook, I had to save it in my profile but a few days back, I checked and couldn't find it. Now, I had to come search for it on RUclips and found it. It aligns so much with what I believe my mission here on earth is and touched me so much. Thank you Charity Water... 💖
First time I've ever watched the whole ad on a RUclips video, -- my heart was touched, my sense of integrity was deeply impressed by this company's fervent and awesome transparency, and I'm very happy to be a member of The Spring and pay a monthly fee to contribute to some real, actual good in the world.
Never imagined an ad could touch my heart so profoundly. Here I am, complaining about public transport and about how much it sucks that I'm not getting a raise this year due to covid... seeing stuff like this really openes your eyes. The happy faces of the children playing with the water... it's something so simple but to them it means the world... I'm just in tears... God bless...
I can't believe I just watched a 20 minute video that was an advertisement! But I think that speaks to the heartfelt honesty that is conveyed very effectively through the video. Congrats on that accomplishment, not to mention what appears to be an amazing charity and path through life. You've acquired another donor.
ruclips.net/video/mWxA6UHAe5A6/видео.html
I saw this ad during a sermon and was like “I am NOT watching a 20 minute ad!” 4 minutes in and I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. I cried and immediately went to find out how I can donate. EXCELLENT storytelling. Thank you for this!
This is the first time I cry for a youtube ad.
I first came across this about 10 months ago. I was in a lesson at school, and after a video, my teacher was called out to do some admin. Auto-play made everyone see some of this ad. I couldn’t hear it over my friends’ loud chatting and had to read the captions, it was like, “Why is no-one paying attention to this?!” It got to all the charity applications getting denied, when my teacher came back in and powered on with the lesson. I kept meaning to try and find it again, but never found the time. Fast-forward to September 2021, when I finally had the intuition to search about for it. Let me tell you, I’m so glad I did. I’m still at school, so I can’t donate myself, but I really want to do something like this when I grow up.
I accidentally skipped the ad and said "Noooo! I need to finish it!!" And I'm glad I finished it. This is beautiful! Thank you for your help and welcoming us to a new open gate we never knew of. Thank you Thank you Thank you! You guys are doing amazing. I'm very proud of everyone who helped with this project. 💕💕🥺
Me, too!!!! I was trying to enlarge my screen. It must have been meant for me to see it because it came back into queue within ten minutes! I forwarded it to a dear friend of mine so that maybe we can spread the word through "share" on RUclips.
I will never forget when he came to speak at our little church in Prague. A powerful and humble servant of God. GREAT VIDEO!
What you guys are doing is amazing. I watched the whole ad and then came here. I am so excited to be part of this now. This truly touched my heart, I could not stop watching. Thank you for having created this.
I can honestly say that I stopped donating to these types of (water/well building) charities 20 + years ago, after we found out how financials were distributed (most around 80% to the management pockets!). However, refreshingly, this organisation seems to be extremely genuine, and with 100% of the donations blessing the cause, I have personally become a monthly sponsor and will be setting up an organisational donation opportunity for both our people and our clients. It's so exciting to help others with this basic and essential human need. I'm excited to be involved.
I've watched this a dozen or so times, and it brings tears to my eyes every time, I love Scott and Dr.Jerry, talk about dedication, I joined the spring over a year ago and I think all of you should too
It appeared as an ad, but for the first time in my life I couldn't stop watching. Amazing! ❤❤❤ I will play it to all my students for sure.
His book, Thirst, and this video, have brought many tears to my eyes. I hope to use the rest of my days serving others in such a powerful way. Amazing.
I watched the whole 20 minutes of this through an ad and was so captivated I had to come over. What a meaningful and powerful initiative!
I could've sworn I started crying. suck a beautiful story proving that we CAN have clean water in areas where it seems impossible
sry I mean it was SUCH a beautiful story
I can't remember the last time I watched an ad the whole way through. I was cooking in my kitchen when this came on. I stopped to watch, and cried several times. Thank you for your story. And this is an awesome example of the power of storytelling and how ads work! Very inspired. Thank you for all that you've done! And to those that think access to clean water for all "can't be done" - of course it can! And why not go for that?? It's utterly worth moving towards that goal... to say it can't be done is to keep giving power to old systems and disempower ourselves from knowing that more is possible. Pulling together to find new solutions - like they have done here - is how we make it happen!
I just wanna say this story got me good it made me cry so bad this really inspired to try and make a change thank you for your service :(

Deeply moved and appreciate how a little kindness can transform the world for better. Thank you Charitywater.
Thank you for reminding me back how important my job is. I'm a shooter and editor for a charity organization in Malaysia. Currently our country still struggle to fight the pandemic and our movement to provide aid for the local that affected is limited. So, my shooting schedule had been reduced. But I'm so grateful to find and watch this video because it remind me of people out there that need our help and support. So once again I want to thank you...
Watched the ad for this half way before accidentally clicking another video when adjusting my phone. I decided to find the ad and finish it. So glad i did. This is amazing.
The first time in my entire life I watched an add on RUclips from start to finish and it was 20mins long. Of course i cried, sent it to my wife immediately after, of course she cried too. Searched the channel on RUclips,educated myself, subscribed, So willing to support. Easily one of the best videos on RUclips. Wow.
I'm shocked an ad caught held my attention for so long. I ALWAYS skip ads. Watched the whole thing and passed along the URL to FB and directly to friends. *tears down my face* I'm in.
This ad is heart touching and every seconds worth. I literally cried. I hope the best for health water and to even more attention and help. ❤️🙏🏻
Talk about being grabbed by an ad. This is the first RUclips ad I never clicked off. It’s not an ad it ought to be a ted talk. I will definitely sign up for The Spring and celebrate the rest of my birthdays giving clean water!
This is absolutely touching story. I love the idea that lead the story teller to start charity water. An idea that I always love to do. This world needs people like him who dedicated their life to help others.
I hate ads but, i wasn't sure what i looking but really, my tears fell off after seeing the video. Thanks Scot for your thoughts, energy to share your whole story, felt mixed emotion. Yes yes i am part of the charity, and helping our people drink at least clean water. Big round of applause to you. From Bhutan.
Am so glad I didn’t skipped. May God bless you. I am gonna join the spring.
First Time I've ever seen this was an Ad that popped up. And I watched it all the way through. I'm addicted now!! I will spread this as far as I possibly can in this world. This is Extraordinary!!
This was ther best commercial I ever watched! Joined the charity immediately afterwards and now donating monthly.
May God bless you all

I first watched this video a few years ago on RUclips and It's super emotional and inspiring and really really makes you appreciate everything we have (living in west!) and appreciate people like Scott who are literally changing the world, massive respect to you!
It seem that every time I watch this video I'm compelled to Donate, as I just received an email from Charity Water saying ''Thanks for your continued support, you have now donated 3 times''. Can't remember the other times, but such a good cause! 😂😍
One of the few adds that i have ever listened to the end and today even for a second time. It continues to touch me. Thank God for you and the people who help you accomplish this🙏🏽💜
IM SO GLAD I DIDNT SKIP THE ADD THIS MADE ME CRY AND MEN DONT CRY EASILY!! I LOVE THIS MOVEMENT AND AS MY INCOME GROW MY GIVING WILL GROW! THANK YOU SCOTT HARRISON YOUR A GIFT GROM GOD !!!
After starting to feel like this world is full of people that really don’t care, this made me cry but for the right reasons! Seeing people redeemed and helping others is what we all need to do and if everyone did that, what a wonderful world it would be. Thank you for the video and thank you for everything you do. I will share with as many as I can!! Bless you all for your work ❤
The Lord has put this heavily on my heart years ago. This is such an amazing and well done project!
Saw this ad on youtube. Usually I ignore ads, but I was cooking, couldn't reacht the "skip ad" button and after a few minutes, I stopped cooking, sat down and cried. I have a 5 year old and I can't imagine the pain and despair of not having clean water. I'm becoming a monthly subscriber to "The Spring" program. 10 bucks a month means clean water for 3 people.
I just cried my eyes out... caught me so off guard mid day 🤧 wish them all the best and will most definitely support as much as I can 💕
ruclips.net/video/mWxA6UHAe5A9/видео.html
Scott, I am all in tears. I will be with you from now on.
I love how our creators share their burdens with us... allowing us to participate in how they care for their creation. This beautiful vision flows straight from the heart of God. The God who so loved the world that he gave. What these folks are doing is a wonderful testimony to how to live.
This was the first ad that was gripping through the whole way. Touching, loving, made me emotional.
This was done right. ♥️
I'm glad I didn't skip the add either. What a beautiful story. It really touched my heart deeply!
I prayed for everyone good today. I seen this and its what I wish for all too. Fresh water. Already bawling not even 1 minute into it.
This is very touching and impactful, I cried and felt I was there 🥺 It’s wonderful to see people like these doing meaningful.
The capacity to relay, it’s something I’ve witnessed from my grandparents; they always gave to church and so many people out there who no1 else would help, so I’ve always admired and have great respect for people like this. I’ve done volunteering work and for me it’s truly gratifying.
I might not be able to financially help others but I can invest my time, effort, energy... Hopefully more people understand that we’re all connected somehow and by doing something positive for small that it may be, we can create a better world.
I’ll be sharing this with friends and acquaintances who have financial abundance, spread the word on good causes, my small way to contribute.
What a beautiful story of courage, love, life, loss, passion, and humanity. Thank you so much for the man you have become, and in the process for showing us the good in us, if we could only realize the immense potential we all carry around. Hope is very much alive.
Yours will be a charity of my choice.
God bless you and your good work.
Feel blessed to have come across this ad. It's so touching and inspiring. Keep up the good work and expand the legacy of Rachel beyond generations to come!!❤❤❤❤❤
That is also the first ad i've ever watched - just now . . . . I wonder what posessed me to do that, I also cried, a lot!!
I'm considering giving up watching Netflix, and giving the 10 quid a month to The Spring; I've always been passionate about clean water - what's the point if you never actually DO anything . . .
Thank you Scott, I love us all, there is so much love in this world
I'm so glad I watched this. I cried watching this. I am going to share this video with my family members. If all the members of my family gave $5 a month for this, that would be $50...$10 a month would be $100...and so on...I love that 100% of donations go to the charity's cause. I believe soon everyone on the planet will have access to clean water.
Every time I watch this video, first I am amazed and amused and astonished at everything that is being said- water conditions, illnesses, the start of this organization- and then i hear about Rachel's story and the story of the girl in another country who died from the water after being sick for two hours and I just start crying.
Who would have thought that by thinking for others will save the lives of others. This is a new next level of work. I would love to join the team, to bring out the next level of love for mankind.
