You people have got to find a way to recognize a young lady named Caitlin Elizabeth Terry. She founded “How Many Cows”, an organization that brings fresh water and sanitary facilities to impoverished communities all around the Caribbean. She is also associated with “Hydromissions”.

She does so much good for so many people and gets little recognition. I met her at the ASCE Global conference in Panama City and have been following her ever since.
