World Water Week

Found this information in a magazine and thought you would find it interesting. This is VERY COOL!

World Water Week is March 22-28.

"It sounds astonishing, but giving one dollar to UNICEF helps ensure that a child can access clean, safe drinking water for 40 days. To make a contribution, visit a restaurant participating in the Tap Project during World Water Week, and donate $1 for the tap water you'd usually get for free. For a list of participating restaurants nationwide (or additional information) log on to tapproject.org."

Think about it for $1 (less than a pack of Orbit gum, less than a 20 ounce soft drink, less than a bottle of water at the convenience store...you get the picture) you can give water to a child for over a month. My wife and I go out to eat a few times a month and the week of World Water Week we will definitely be finding a participating restaurant in our area. Go have a good time, some good food, and give so others can have just a little bit of what we take for granted.

When you go to the Tap Project website to find a restaurant you will not that most are just in large cities...BUT DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU FROM DONATING!!!! There is a link to make a donation online...please join me in making a small difference in the lives of kids.
