Jessica Biel recently climbed Mt. Kilim-anjaro, a 19,340 foot mountain in Africa, in hopes to raise awareness of the worldwide need for clean water.The trek up Africa's tallest mountain took Biel, and a few other group members, six days to reach the peak. To get to the top of Kilimanjaro the group members had to hike through blizzard conditions. The temperature at the top was zero degrees, and from so much snow they could only see two feet in front of them. When Biel reached the top she cried at the thought of her accomplishment.
Not only did they experience extreme weather, but group members suffered from altitude sickness and exhaustion.
Biel and her group members also experienced life with the locals while hiking up the mountain; such as helping villagers purify their water.
To inform people that more than a billion people are without clean water the actresses climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro was documented. "This is a basic human necessity that needs to be addressed now," Biel said in a statement. Biel wants to "raise awareness toward the life-threatening clean water crisis happening not only in Africa but around the world."
This documentary will be aired on March 14 at 9 p.m. on MTV.

I really like the concept of your blog! I wanted to comment on this post in particular because of the documentary information that was included. I think that it was a really good idea to include specifics about the documentary rather than something general about it airing in the future. By providing details, you give the readers the ability to learn more and yourself credibility.
