CAWST

World Water Day is fast approaching, and there are a number of opportunities for you to join us in celebrating the global movement working for universal access to clean water and sanitation. Read on to find out more!

Raise a glass of clean, safe water with us at our annual World Water Day Celebration on Tuesday, March 22. We are planning an exciting program featuring our Youth Wavemakers from Junior High and High Schools across Calgary. They have worked diligently to design and implement their own water projects, and we are thrilled to showcase their hard work. We will also launch a photo-documentary exhibit called Waves of Change featuring stories and photos of some of the people we reach, and those reached by our network in Haiti, Zambia and India.


Can't make it? Here are three other ways to celebrate the movement towards water and sanitation for all:

• Host a photo-documentary exhibit - Share the CAWST story and the stories of those served by our network in Haiti, Zambia and India with your workplace, social or service club, church lobby or other community gathering by booking a mini-version of our photo-documentary exhibit. We will provide you with all the materials and information you need so you can help CAWST spread the water message to your friends and colleagues. Visit www.makewavesofchange.org or call 403-243-3285 to book your mini-exhibit today.
• Make a donation - CAWST's work in building the capacity of local populations to meet their water and sanitation needs is made possible through the generous support of people like you. To learn more, or to set up a one-time or monthly donation to CAWST in honour of World Water Day, please visit here.
• Follow us online - Join the online movement by connecting with us on Facebook and Twitter. Starting this week, you can also follow four of our international staff on Twitter, as they travel, work, and Tweet in Haiti, Zambia, Afghanistan, and Cameroon.

As Canadians, we are among a privileged minority of the world’s citizens who enjoy our human rights to clean water and sanitation. So let’s celebrate our great fortune and honour those who are working for the same rights on this special day when water is celebrated worldwide.

We hope to see you or hear from you soon!
