Monday photo: Around the world on World Water Day

On March 22 the world celebrated our most precious resource: water. Here at UNICEF USA we celebrated World Water Day with the UNICEF Tap Project, a week-long event where we asked restaurants around the United States to charge $1 for tap water, something that’s normally free. All proceeds would go to UNICEF’s water and sanitation programs. We asked our volunteers and supporters to dine, donate and do their part. And they responded by recruiting restaurants, holding events and raising awareness.

But we wondered how other countries celebrated the holiday. After all, it is WORLD Water Day. This week’s photo features a young clean water advocate during a protection rally for the Uruaguay River in Argentina. You can see a slideshow of other events around the world on the official World Water Day website.
