Water for Life Voices

"I believe that we should never take things for granted. It was through the World Water Day each year that I begin to realise how fortunate we are to be in a developed country with easy access to clean water. However, it was also important to let the local community know what is happening in other parts of the world. That was how I started to organise activities, such as a mass water filtration exercise, during World Water Day each year to spread this water message across the community.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve seen more people willing to make a difference. They are stepping forward to lead activities that promote awareness in water conservation and sanitation. I believe our community wants everyone to appreciate the environment. We will need to continue our actions, whether big or small, to recognize the importance of water and sanitation. Not forgetting our friends who do not have clean access to water, we should continue to contribute in terms of donations or technological ideas to help them improve their lives."
