Next to the phrase, “citizen advocacy for our waterways“ in the dictionary, there is a picture of Gayle Killam. You have been the heart and the soul of this work for two decades. It has been an honor to work with you, learn from you, and most importantly, to call you friend. Best wishes as you embark on this next phase of your water advocacy journey.

Much love,

Todd

Knowing that water belongs to us, and it’s our role to defend it, is incredibly empowering.

My country South Africa is predominantly tribal land and water for drinking and productive livelihoods is a key commodity. Quality and availability of this resource is becoming a national challenge that requires mitigation strategies at all levels of governance. Stewardship remains the unifying and core approach for collective decision making and preservation of this scarce resource.
