One year ago, 9 yr old Rachel Beckwith was tragically killed in a car accident. Since then, because of her commitment to giving up her birthday for helping others, over 60,000 people have been provided access to clean water. Her life continues to be an inspiration to so many. We interviewed Scott Harrison (founder of charity: water), Samantha Paul (Rachel's mom) and Ryan Meeks (Samantha and Rachel's pastor) at Catalyst Atlanta last October, and committed to send Samantha to Ethiopia this week to see up close one year later the wells that Rachel helped build.

Here is that story:
