The Quench Project is a collaboration with Water Missions International and is an expression of Robert’s perspective on survival and thriving, despite the many horrific conditions we face.  The demons we carry can haunt us or drive us to greater heights.  Learning to reframe the past and direct our future is a necessity for survival. But trusting our higher power is essential to achieving true inner peace.

Part of this fee will be donated to the children of The Bread of Life Orphanage in Jacmal, Haiti.
