Follow on Google News | Paying It Forward: Thanking Clients By Sponsoring Wells Around the WorldBy: Advent Rather than continue giving the usual tokens of appreciation like candy to clients at the holidays, in 2012 CEO of Advent, John Roberson, together with the company’s president Todd Austin, decided to partner with Living Water International, donating the gift of clean water wells in clients’ names. Living Water International, a non-profit organization, funds and participates directly in building wells in Third World countries, bringing clean water to impoverished communities. Their volunteers have built wells in 15 countries from Africa and India to the Caribbean and Central America. To date, Advent’s contributions have made more than a dozen wells possible in Togo and Haiti. Advent sends clients updates with photos and videos on the wells they have made possible and the communities where the clean water is now flowing. The reaction from Advent clients has been enthusiastic. As one client said, “I can’t tell you how great it felt to find out that we were a part of something so important, that made such a difference in the world. I so appreciate what Advent has done.” The need for wells is urgent. It’s estimated that 663 million people lack access to clean water. Thousands of communities are caught in a cycle of poverty because of water-related diseases and parasites. Living Water International recruits volunteers from across America, who give their time to dig new or repair old wells. “The spirit of the holidays is all about giving, “ says Advent’s Roberson. “We are so proud that to have the privilege of making a difference in people’s lives around the world.” ### Advent creates powerful spaces for corporate, educational and civic institutions to brand themselves by targeted messaging, dynamic graphics and creative problem solving. Advent serves a diverse array of clients, ranging from academic institutions such as the University of Southern California to health clinics like NeighborMD to corporate headquarters like Nissan.
