Much of the poverty throughout the world can be attributed to lack of clean water. While I’m sure most of us are concerned with this at least ideologically, sometimes it’s hard to know how we can help practically.
I’m really excited to be letting you know about a great campaign coming up, in the San Diego area called The Tap Project, that will provide an easy way to help out a little bit with the water situation in Africa. Basically what it’s all about is, from March 22-28 various restaurants around San Diego County will charge 1 dollar for tap water. That 1 dollar will give 1 child in Africa clean and safe drinking water for 40 days. It’s an easy way for people to help.
Here’s how the project is described on Tap Project’s website:
From March 22-28, 2009, restaurants and volunteers across the country will join together to raise awareness about the critical role water plays in a child’s survival. With the support of thousands of friends like you, we are confident that we can achieve this goal of reaching zero preventable deaths in our lifetime.
Get Involved
If you go to the San Diego area page on Tap Project’s website, there is an easy-to-use map to help you find participating restaurants. If you don’t see your favorite restaurant listed, you can talk to them and then submit their information to help get more restaurants listed!
You can also volunteer for the campaign, and specifically, you can even volunteer in your workplace. You can even join the San Diego Facebook group and follow them on Twitter to stay up-to-date.
Stay Tuned
San Diego Mommy Spot will try to provide you with a list of participating restaurants on Sunday, March 21st, the first day of the campaign, so let’s get started and help get even more restaurants to participate in the awesome event.
Welcome back! Have you submitted your blog or business to be listed yet?
