\"first-drink.jpg\"<\/a><\/span>When Jerry and Judy Bohl saw the plight of the people in the poor regions for clean drinking water, they decided to do something about it. They built an affordable water purification unit with the help of their son\u2019s teacher Paul Flickinger, a Western Michigan art professor. The purifier costs around $750 to build but the Bohl\u2019s organization, \u2019Clean Water for the World\u2019 donates it for free to the people in the poor regions for community use. The purifier works like a normal purifier, but it has the additional advantage of using UV light to clean the water. After passing through a cotton filter which removes the bigger impurities, the water is made to pass through a metal chamber fitted with a UV bulb. Since the UV rays travel with a very high frequency, they are able to penetrate the cell walls of bacteria and kill them.<\/p>\n


\nThe Bohls have taken this initiative to inspire other people donate and help the less fortunate in any way they can.
