Water to Wine: Brandon Bott’s Trip to Nepal

Our head of inside sales recently went on a trip to Nepal, during which he helped bring water to a struggling village. This is his story.

As you have seen on our social media posts, we do quite a bit of fundraising for the Children’s Miracle Network. And this year, we’ve already raised $50,000 and given it to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. Those are just two of the ways we give back to the community, and today I want to highlight what Brandon Bott, head of inside sales on the Pearson Team, did for his own way of giving back.

Brandon recently returned from a 10-day trip to Nepal. He went with a non-profit called Wine to Water, which is based in Boone, North Carolina. This organization has done a lot for people in other countries who are struggling with getting access to clean water. Visit their website here to find out more about what Wine to Water does for people all over the world.
