This GivingTuesday is the fourth year Vera Aqua Vera Vita has been able to ride the wave of generosity!

These past few weeks, Vera Aqua Vera Vita has been growing in our connections to the University of Dallas.

VAVV hopes this year sets a precedent for the type of engagement we have with UD down the line!

You wake up one morning to a long day of work ahead of you, and prepare yourself to get ready for the day. You get up and try to brush your teeth, but low and behold, no water comes from your faucet. Your stove won’t light for your morning eggs; you can’t pour water into the pot for coffee; can’t even flush that foul stench down your toilet. Imagine a Day Without Water.
