Last year BRAD PAISLEY and his wife Kimberly launched "The Paisley Challenge" . . . an initiative to help provide clean drinking water to the people of Haiti. Well, they haven't given up the cause.  Brad recently posted some photos of him down in Haiti working on water purification systems.  He Tweeted, "One of our full service water stations in Haiti, complete with hillbilly water pump."  He also wrote, quote, "Second of new water purification systems in Thomazeau, Haiti."
