Did you know that nearly 900 million people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water? That’s 4,200 children dying, every single day, from waterborne disease. As a UNICEF Ambassador and Tap Project
Hi everyone! Some of you probably know, and some might not, but Benji and I recently traveled with UNICEF to the Central African Republic, a small country in the center of Africa. We had a life-changing, wonderful trip and we are so excited to share this video from our time there with all of you!
