Chef’s Table for Water to Thrive at the Austonian

You have just under two weeks. During that time, you can bid online for singular dinners by some of Austin’s top chefs. Proceeds go to Water to Thrive, an Austin-based charity bringing water wells to rural Africa.

From what I’ve heard, it’s an effective group, teaming up with the likes of Philip and Donna Berber’s astonishing Glimmer of Hope. I’m planning a major column on Austin’s outreach to the world, which will include these two groups along with Caroline Boudreaux’s Miracle Foundation, Niyanta Spelman’s Rainforest Partnership, Turk and Christy Pipkin’s Nobelity Project, as well as Susan and Michael Dell’s efforts in South Africa and India. If you know of others, contact me at mbarnes11@me.com.
